How Actors and Actresses React to Philip Seamour Hoffman's Passing

While this is not an official tribute, many people were moved by Hoffman's sudden passing and were quick to share their memories. The late actor was an integral part of the film world, from Martin Scorsese's Wolf of Wall Street to Robert De Niro's Las Vegas. A few of his other notable films include Freaks & Geeks, and Las Vegas.

Philip Seymour Hoffman's death

Earlier this week, we reported that actor Philip Seamour Hoffman passed away after an apparent heroin overdose. The Oscar-winning actor was 46. While he had previously been clean, he had fallen back into substance abuse after a series of mishaps. It's unclear whether the death was a result of a new substance abuse problem or simply an accident. But many of the actors and actresses are expressing their grief in public.

Several of the actors whose performances he praised the most on Twitter also reacted to the news of Philip Seymour Hoffman's passing. A number of actors, including Robert De Niro, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Morgan Freeman, have spoken out in the aftermath of the tragedy. They said that the film's stars were devastated by the news of Philip Seymour Hoffman's death and expressed their condolences to fans.

Las Vegas

After being widely acclaimed in the past, 'Las Vegas' is now being considered for the Oscars as one of the best films of the year. With five Oscar-winning actors, including Michael Douglas and Robert De Niro, the film is a high-profile homage to the Vegas strip. But while the cast is stellar, it doesn't quite deliver on its promise as a box-office hit.

The movie's trailer has been praised for its cast and director Luca Guadagnino's debut. In the first trailer, a stormy cloud trails a pennant flag. The film also stars Robert De Niro, Seth Rogen, Jamie Lee Curtis, and more, all of whom react to the passing of the late actor.

Martin Scorsese's Wolf of Wall Street

While "Wolf of Wall Street" might be the most famous of all Martin Scorsese films, many fans have been upset by the recent death of the late actor. Critics have argued that Scorsese's movie misrepresented the financial world, but Scorsese and Winter seem to have never lost sight of the big picture. The film is about the mentality of Wall Street, and a clean version of gangster behavior. Leonardo DiCaprio, who also played Jordan Belfort in "GoodFellas," is not a stranger to such a mentality, and he is a great choice for this role.

The film's early set pieces were incredible, from the opening sequence of a mob hit at a shopping mall to the zooming-in of a floral display in a storefront window. The movie also de-glamorized the mob as a whole, which is a characteristic of Scorsese's films.

Freaks & Geeks

Fans of the late actor can watch this eerie tribute on Netflix. Rather than the usual "scary, supernatural movie," this film is based on real events. De Niro, a legendary actor and the creator of Freaks & Geeks, died on March 20. Fans have responded to his death with grief, praise, and nostalgia. Read on to learn what fans of the show have to say.
