All the news of death by drugs of famous people saddens and infuriates us, but when it comes to brilliant artists even more. Philip Seymour Hoffman has left us One Sunday in February, so suddenly and a few young 46 years that we still do not believe it. Since Gayles.tv we want to make a small tribute to this Oscar-winning actor with a memory of his homosexual roles.
We started with the first one that launched him to fame: Boogie Nights (1997), where Hoffman played an always-placed Scotty J., camera operator who stole a kiss from the porn actor Dirk Diggler, played by Mark Wahlberg. Together with Robert deNiro he filmed Flawless (1999), incarnating to Rusty, a buoyant transvestite he has to help his homophobic neighbor with singing lessons. And already at 2005, Hoffman embroidered one of the best roles of his entire career: Truman Capote in Cloak. The interpretation of this mysterious genius of the novel He showed us an actor who had already earned the label of "excellent and professional" forever. His magnificent portrayal of the gay writer earned him his Oscar to the best actor.
Hoffman is undoubtedly a great loss of talent for the world of cinema. Interestingly some of his mythical roles have been homosexual characters, as well as we find sexually disturbed papers, like Allen's in Happiness (1998), the sexual degenerate, or that of Father Brendan Flynn in The doubt (2008), as a priest accused of pederasty against one of his altar servers.
A formidable and versatile actor, who unfortunately happens to add to the list of great talents that the world suddenly loses due to addictions. Rest in peace and eternal in your films, Philip Seymour Hoffman.
