Braddy 160 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 People never learn about drugs they think it will never happen to them. Was it prescribed drug or illegal drug. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I'd never heard of him so I looked him up on Wiki. Philip Seymour Hoffman is an American actor and director. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for the 2005 biographical film Capote, and received three Academy Award nominations as Best Supporting Actor. He achieved fame and fortune but threw it all away for drugs. What a waste of life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Nobody forces people to take drugs. He's part of a long line of idiots, and he will be followed by lots more. No sympathy whatsoever . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 I agree. There are many risk you take in life, not many can take your life, those that do I have avoided. How sad for his family... is all I have to say on the matter. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Just watched the usual morning breakfast shows plus BBC1 and Sky and there were many false sick bag type tributes and not one NOT ONE condemnation of his actions. The so called "intelligencia" and showbiz fraternity have a lot to answer for. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
