Unforunately when you choose to dance with the devil this is often the outcome.

Sadder thing is that he was clean for 20 years and then relapsed in 2012.

Just read the street price of Ace of Spades/Queens stamped heroin, now known as killer went up.

That's how sick the habit is.

Default Very sad
Tremendously talented actor. Sad his kids will grow up without a father. He obviously made a horrible choice and payed the ultimate price. His choices of film roles were very strong. Everyone's seen and knows how brilliant he was in Capote for which he won the Oscar. I found a clip on YouTube of a brilliant film from 1998 that he was very good in Todd Solondz's "Happiness" where he played the very disturbed Allen. Warning graphic language in this clip.

Was fortunate enough to be 'forced' to watch 'A Late Quartet' on a flight a year or so back. It focused on Christopher Walken's character but Hoffman accented the flick like red on a Ferrari.

Strongly recommended

Another great performance. A waste, I agree.
