On July 23, 1967, the movie world received a blessing. This blessing came in the form of Philip Seymour Hoffman. Now, I have always loved Hoffman, even though in high school, no one else knew who he was. Back then, I used to tell people that I wanted to become an actor, and I had a vision of being the next Philip Seymour Hoffman. The reply I got every single time was: “Who’s that?”, to which I would always say, “Exactly!”
