One of the great artists of his generation, Philip Seymour Hoffman captured the essence of human frailty and resilience with extraordinary range and nuance. Specializing in portrayals of troubled, flawed, and sometimes downright malevolent characters, he managed to bring authenticity and humanity to even the most damaged of souls in art-house hits like SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK; THE SAVAGES; and CAPOTE (for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor). Ten years after his untimely passing, we salute a consummate actor’s actor whose soul-baring vulnerability and deep commitment to his craft have been sorely missed.
