R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman

We are sad to report that actor Philip Seymour Hoffman has passed away today at the age of 46 in his N.Y. apartment. The New York Police Department is still investigating, so there isn't an official reason to what happen.

Here is what the actor's family had to say;

“We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Phil and appreciate the outpouring of love and support we have received from everyone. This is a tragic and sudden loss and we ask that you respect our privacy during this time of grieving. Please keep Phil in your thoughts and prayers.”
 

Here is what Lionsgate had to say:

“Philip Seymour Hoffman was a singular talent and one of the most gifted actors of our generation. We’re very fortunate that he graced our Hunger Games family. Losing him in his prime is a tragedy, and we send our deepest condolences to Philip’s family.”

Hoffman won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in Capote, and frequently collaborated with director Paul Thomas Anderson, Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love and The Master.
