The late
Oscar-winning actor was one of the most respected talents in the industry with an extraordinary body of work that stands as testament to his versatility. In memory of Philip Seymour Hoffman, we've picked our favourite films that showcase his diversity and brilliance
Boogie Nights
Arguably, the role that put him on the map. PSH was unforgettable as the insecure Scotty J.
The Big Lebowski
Proof a great actor only needs a few minutes on screen to win an audience. His brief appearance as Lebowskis manservant was perfection.
The Talented Mr. Ripley
PSHs turn as flash, boorish playboy Freddie Miles was devilishly good.
Almost Famous
The actor got it so right as notorious rock critic Lester Bangs.
Capote
PSH won an Oscar for his triumphant portrayal of American author Truman Capote.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
PSH made Head Gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee deliciously sinister.
