I liked him in Patch Adams and Twister. Here's a link to his Filmography. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000450/?ref_=tt_cl_t4
I don't know that I saw many of his movies. I really liked him in the Mission Impossible movie he did. It's sad to hear about his passing. Too young. RIP.
Sad to see such a young talent pack it in at 46. Junkies, go figure! I did notice his attraction to heavy or darker roles over recent years. Choices eh? He seemed to be an actor that became his roles which made him believable on screen. I foret the name but he was in a movie as a drag queen with DeNiro that was great! Rest in peace! I just remembered the movie was Flawless with DeNiro, Francis McDormatt and I think it was James Franco's debut..Hoffman was a really great talent but he had the ways and means to deal with addiction, too bad he failed at it.
That Boogie Nights role is one of my favorite PSH movies and roles as well. He was also amazing in Magnolia. Truly one of the best actors of our time.
He also had a National Enquirer type role in Red Dragon. It's too bad he ends up naked, super glued to a wheel chair, and rolling down the street on fire. [video=youtube;KoYlCkHdNlU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoYlCkHdNlU[/video]
Scenes in the movie Twister. "You just missed that truck... that was AWESOME!" [video=youtube;yxA5Wi981V8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxA5Wi981V8[/video]
Or trying like hell to be the life of a Superbowl party. "I brought a killer five layer nacho." "That is cool. I brought heroin."
I'd be like, "Whoa - those are two COMPLETELY different nights we're talking about." That's quite the leap from nachos to heroin.
