Philip Seymour Hoffman

A year ago today, a great actor passed away. For the past year, I have been reviewing several of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s performances on film. Think Boogie Nights, The Big Lebowski,  and 25th Hour.

One of his more memorable performances is that of CIA Officer Gust Avrakotos in Charlie Wilson’s War.

In the book of the same name, by George Crile,  you really get to know Gus Avrakotos better. I highly recommend it; well written and a comfortable read.

Tonight, I will be watching A Most Wanted Man. Not only do I need a little PSH today, but I’m in the mood for a John le Carré spy-thriller as well.
