He was one of the best current US actors.

Whenever I saw Hoffman in a movie I always imagined what career this actor could have had if he was born 3 decades earlier. In the 60s/70s he could have worked with Scorsese, Altman, Coppola, Forman, Lumet, Pakula, Allen, Siegel, Peckinpah in their prime. He would have been a rival to young De Niro, Pacino, Nicholson, Hackman and others for quite some "New Hollywood" roles.

Favorite movies with PSH:
