RIP

 

A shame...

RIP

 

He was so great. Out of all his excellent roles, the one that really has always stood out to me personally was in Doubt. Amazing actor. Such a shame after he was clean for so many years.

 

Wow this is seriously depressing. I loved this dude. The first I saw of it was Adam schefter tweeting it and I didn't even believe it. Such a shame. We were just talking about him at work like 2 weeks ago.

 

Not to demean the death of Paul Walker, but he will get much more press than Hoffman who was infinitely better as an actor.

 

RIP

 

amongst the prescription drugs that were found in his apartment,50 bags of heroin that police said he had been hoarding at least 6 months.

 

a druggie checks out

big freaking deal

 

I can understand where you are coming from, but addicts have a chemical imbalance that can't be controlled by rational thinking though. I'd venture to guess that when he was shooting up in the bathroom by himself, he wasn't exactly thinking it would be fun or a good idea.

From everything that I've heard about him, he was a kind and unselfish person. I hate that someone whose art I enjoyed is gone, but I feel even worse for those that knew and loved him.

 

i tried my fair share of drugs,including smack.never tried any cocaine or speed cause my family has a history of heart trouble so i never messed with that.pot,acid,alcohol.but the ones that really kicked my ass were valium,xanax,demerol,nembutals, prescription drugs that just beat the crap out of me.i had to take vicodins and oxys when i hurt my back 7 years back,but thank god i was able to stop all that then.i ocassionally have to get a shot due to a miagraine but thank god as i enetr my 50s,i can stay away from that other crap cause it will get you without you knowing it really fast.
