A Few Of The Greatest Films From The Passionate Actor, Philip Seymour Hoffman
It is always interesting to come across an actor who, while extremely talented, takes a while to work his way up to widespread acclaim. One such actor is Philip Seymour Hoffman. For about 20 years, Hoffman has appeared in many movies but hasn't necessarily starred in them. I guess you can say he has had his big break, and now has the freedom to choose whichever roles he wants.
This article will list some of the greatest movies that Philip Seymour Hoffman has been in.
One film that must be discussed when talking about Philip Seymour Hoffman movies is Boogie Nights. This is a rather peculiar role for Hoffman, but the man still manages to give a great performance. There is one scene he is involved in, which is uncomfortable, to say the least.
While the Mission Impossible movies rarely get acclaim, I felt that Hoffman did an amazing role as the villain the third installment of this franchise. He was scary, ruthless and evil.
If you have yet to see Doubt, then you are missing out on some amazing acting. Any time you put Meryl Streep and Philip Hoffman together the result is going to be great. It came as no surprise that both of them were nominated for Academy Awards for this film.
One film that featured Philip Seymour Hoffman which I absolutely love is 25th Hour. Hoffman plays a teacher who is the friend of a man about to be locked up for many years (played by Edward Norton). As they enjoy their last night out together, things take an interesting turn.
While I did not love Capote as a film, you have to give credit where credit is due. Philip Seymour Hoffman knocked it out of the park with his portrayal of the lead character and it came as no surprise when he won best actor at the Academy Awards.
These are just some of the great films starring the ever so talented Philip Seymour Hoffman.
