The Best Phillip Seymour Hoffman Movies Up To This Point

By Andrew Wilford


Any time you are going to talk about actors based on talent, one person who should be thrown into the discussion is Philip Seymour Hoffman. Hoffman is a classically trained theater actor, and I think that shows; his poise and versatility are amazing things to watch.

This article will discuss some of the best Philip Seymour Hoffman movies and roles up to this point in his career.

One film that must be discussed when talking about Philip Seymour Hoffman movies is Boogie Nights. This is a rather peculiar role for Hoffman, but the man still manages to give a great performance. There is one scene he is involved in, which is uncomfortable, to say the least.

Another great role that Phillip Seymour Hoffman played was as the villain in Mission Impossible III. This wasn't the best film ever, but you could not ask for a better bad guy.

If you have yet to see Doubt, then you are missing out on some amazing acting. Any time you put Meryl Streep and Philip Hoffman together the result is going to be great. It came as no surprise that both of them were nominated for Academy Awards for this film.

Philip Seymour Hoffman doesn't always feel the need to play the lead role in a film and that is most apparent to me as his role of Brandt in The Big Lebowski. He may not have been the star of this movie, but there is no doubt he helped to contribute to its greatness.

One other film that I feel the need to discuss is the movie that nabbed him an Academy Award for Best Actor In A Lead Role, and that was of course the movie Capote. Hoffman played the part of Truman Capote as no one else could.

These are just some of the great films starring the ever so talented Philip Seymour Hoffman.
