ANOTHER LEGENDARY ACTOR'S TRIBUTE!
This week on the Gimme Three Podcast co-hosts Bella Efstratis and Nicholas Ybarra celebrate the life and career of Philip Seymour Hoffman. As hard as it is to believe, this year marks a decade since Philip Seymour Hoffman's tragic passing.
In this episode, the duo discusses some of Hoffman's pivotal leading performances.
- First, we have Sidney Lumet's swan song, the gripping 2008 crime thriller Before The Devil Knows You're Dead. In this one, Philip Seymour Hoffman takes his acting to new, intense heights.
- Next, we attempt to dissect the dense masterpiece Synecdoche, New York. In what may be his most enigmatic roles, Hoffman knocks it out of the park as the troubled stage director Caden Cotard.
- Finally, we discuss the intricacies of Philip Seymour Hoffman's Academy Award-winning performance as Truman Capote in Capote.
In this episode, Bella and Nick analyze Hoffman's portrayal of vulnerability in all of his characters and its effect on the audience.
