Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Finest Roles In Throughout His Career


Any time you are going to talk about actors based on talent, one person who should be thrown into the discussion is Philip Seymour Hoffman. Hoffman is a classically trained theater actor, and I think that shows; his poise and versatility are amazing things to watch.

This article will list some of the greatest movies that Philip Seymour Hoffman has been in.

The first movie I will discuss is a rather dark film and was released on a smaller scale, as many of his films often are. Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead is a difficult film to get through, but Hoffman’s acting is nothing short of top notch.

Another great role that Phillip Seymour Hoffman played was as the villain in Mission Impossible III. This wasn’t the best film ever, but you could not ask for a better bad guy.

One movie that must be mentioned when discussing Hoffman films is Doubt. This movie stars Hoffman as a priest being questioned by a strict and evil nun, played by none other than the great Meryl Streep.

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.

When it comes to Hoffman’s finest acting performances, one movie that has to be mentioned is Capote. This movie finally won Hoffman an Oscar. Even without knowing anything about the man who this movie is about, you can still appreciate the fine acting job that he delivered.

While these films comprise the current list, rumor has it that Hoffman is in talks to star as The Penguin in the third Batman installment. If that happens, I may have to reevaluate this list.
