The world of film is deeply aggrieved as another one of its brightest stars has faded away. Hoffman was undoubtedly one of the best actors of his generation, and tributes have poured in from all over the world paying homage to the wonderful man, whose performance as Truman Capote won him the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2005. He will be truly missed, as George Clooney explains 'There are no words ... It's just terrible'.
We had so much more to see from Hoffman, who had been filming his role as Plutarch Heavensbee in sequel 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay', a role which had garnered him a whole new generation of fans in 'Catching Fire'. We must honour Hoffman's memory by remembering the wonderful legacy he left us - star performances in 'Moneyball', 'The Master', and 'Capote' re-iterate his status as a Hollywood heavyweight, and one that will never be forgotten. We will always have his movies, and we should cherish them. I'll be watching 'Capote' hopefully by the end of this week for the first time, and will try to smile with fondness on a magnificent performance of another silver-screen star who died too young.

My condolences go out to his partner Mimi, and their three children, and anyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting the man. I can only imagine what you're going through after such a painful loss and hope that the support from those around you will help you to cope at this difficult time.
