Wanted to post an interview here that AVClub.com did with probably one of my top 5 favorite actors Philip Seymour Hoffman.
In my humble opinion, the man is pure genius and has managed to carve himself a niche in the acting world as perhaps the only guy that can play the type of character he plays. Seriously, a LOT of his roles instantly become classic Hoffman roles after viewing, because once you've seen him in the role, you can't think of anyone else who may have been better suited for it.
He currently finished showing his film at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), a film called Jack Goes Boating. He stars as the titular character, and also directs the film, this being his first directorial feature. Needless to say, I'm very anxious to see it.
Anyways, the man comes off as such a well-rounded intelligent individual, so I had to post the interview. Happy reading!
Jack Goes Boating also stars the amazing and equally underrated actress Amy Ryan, who has already picked up an Oscar nomination for the grim Ben Affleck film Gone, Baby, Gone (2007) and has some wonderful television performances in "The Office" and my personal favorite TV show of all time "The Wire". Check out the trailer for the film here:
