Fairport, New York, USA:
Philip Seymour Hoffman (23 luglio 1967 – 2 febbraio 2014) è stato un attore, regista e produttore americano. Conosciuto soprattutto per i suoi ruoli distintivi di supporto e caratteristica – tipicamente delinquenti, eccentrici, bulli e emarginati – Hoffman ha recitato in molti film, inclusi ruoli da protagonista, dai primi anni '90 fino alla sua morte nel 2014. Attratto dal teatro da adolescente, Hoffman ha studiato recitazione alla Tisch School of the Arts della New York University. Ha iniziato la sua carriera cinematografica in un episodio del 1991 di Law & Order e ha iniziato a recitare nel cinema nel 1992. Ha ottenuto riconoscimenti per il suo lavoro di supporto, in particolare in Scent of a Woman (1992), Boogie Nights (1997), Happiness (1998), Patch Adams (1998), The Big Lebowski (1998), Magnolia (1999), The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), Almost Famous (2000), Punch-Drunk Love (2002) e Along Came Polly (2004). Ha iniziato a interpretare occasionalmente ruoli da protagonista e, per la sua interpretazione dell'autore Truman Capote in Capote (2005), ha vinto numerosi riconoscimenti, incluso l'Oscar come miglior attore. Il profilo di Hoffman continuò a crescere e ricevette altre tre nomination agli Oscar per il suo ruolo di ufficiale della CIA brutalmente schietto in Charlie Wilson's War (2007), un prete accusato di pedofilia in Doubt (2008) e il carismatico leader di un movimento di tipo scientology in The Master (2012). Sebbene abbia lavorato principalmente in film indipendenti, tra cui The Savages (2007) e Synecdoche, New York (2008), Hoffman è apparso anche in Flawless (1999) e in blockbuster hollywoodiani come Twister (1996) e Mission: Impossible III (2006), e in uno dei suoi ultimi ruoli, come Plutarch Heavensbee nella serie Hunger Games (2013–15). Il lungometraggio Jack Goes Boating (2010) ha segnato il suo debutto come regista. Hoffman fu anche un attore e regista teatrale di talento. Nel 1995 è entrato a far parte della compagnia off-Broadway LAByrinth Theater, dove ha diretto, prodotto e recitato in numerose produzioni teatrali. Le sue interpretazioni in tre opere di Broadway — True West nel 2000, Long Day's Journey into Night nel 2003 e Death of a Salesman nel 2012 — gli valsero tutte nomination ai Tony Awards.
