Hoffman had publicly spoken about his trouble with addiction in the past, especially during the early days of his career.

Considered one of the most capable actors of his generation Hoffman had a penchant for nabbing some of the most intelligent roles in modern cinema, delivering memorable turns in Magnolia, Boogie Nights, The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Master, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Doubt.
