Alex J Campbell: Actor, choreographer and dancer in Coquitlam, Canada.
RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman. The Master is dead.
What's your favorite memory of him? Can be a role he took in a movie, on stage, something he said etc. I personally thought he did his best work whenever he teamed up with Paul Thomas Anderson. He always looked and felt like such a friendly, easy going person. So sad and shocked he is gone now. Another one of the greats taken before their time.
In Production Soon, I hope

The few exceptions do not override the general rule. Most people do not go to independent films, but of course occasionally a few will break through. Even so they rarely experience the same level of grosses as the major studio productions.

Expand commentHoffman was an actor's actor. If he was in a film, I knew the film would be better because of his presence in it, no matter how small or large the role or the movie. He did it all. Big budget, little budget, stage, television and that's what a true actor is suppose do. It's not always about "money" but about the quality of the work that proves enduring in this business. And Phillip Seymour Hoffman was a quality actor.

Expand commentI was fortunate to be a co-producer on Charlie Evans, Jr.'s documentary Addiction Incorporated. The film's principal is Victor DeNoble who, in a very succinct way, explains the mechanism of addiction regardless of the substance: The brain creates a chemical that tells us that all is well providing a general sense of well being. When one takes a drug, be it nicotine, heroin or what have you, the drug begins shouting at you that EVERYTHING IS GREAT with such force and volume that the brain automatically reduces the production of the 'everything's OK' chemical because of all the shouting being done by the drug. Later, when the drug has run out of your system, the volume on your 'everything's OK' chemical is still turned down--or off--and the feeling that we used to have that all is well has disappeared and we gravitate to the drug in an attempt to recover it. This is a simplified explanation you can give to a school child and they will understand the phenomenon of addiction. It does not, however, contemplate the reasons one originally takes the drug.
