Well, on that note, 21 Jump Street? No mention of Assassins, or hell, even Fame? ;) And they spelled Sweeney wrong.

I thought he was better known for "The Talented Mr. Ripley" or "Magnolia." Or even that DeNiro flick where he (Hoffman) plays a drag queen.

Whatever, I'm just happy to see Michael Cerveris get some attention. :)

Sure, he was great in "Capote" and I enjoyed his direction of "In Arabia We'd All Be Kings" but let's face it, it's for his work in Scent and - even more significantly - "My Boyfriend's Back", that he'll be remembered.

So true about Hoffman - boyfriend got shafted in this article!

Yeah, ditto on that. Is this an instance of shoddy press release copying, or did you really think nobody would remember him but for his 14-year-old turn in a Pacino/Connelly vehicle? Why not "Philip Seymore Hoffman (Twister)"? Or "Philip Seymore Hoffman (Leap of Faith)"? Yeah. It's a slow day here.

you guys are weird

You list Scent of a Woman as Philip Seymour Hoffman's claim to fame? Not the movie he won an Oscar for last year? Or the zillion stage productions he has been in? Hoo-ha!
