Philip Seymour Hoffman
The late great Philip Seymour Hoffman was as multi-talented as he was troubled. Though the actor wasn’t a massive box office star, he carved out a niche for himself as a fantastic character actor. At the same time, unbeknownst to most people, he battled crippling substance abuse issues. In fact, his addiction got so bad that his partner Mimi O’Donnell asked him to leave their family home for the sake of their three children.
The photos in this article were taken by a customer at an Atlanta bar on January 30, 2013 – just three days before the actor sadly passed away from a fatal overdose back in his Manhattan apartment. He was only 46 years old.
