On the bright side, now he can't embarrass himself with anymore Hunger Games movies. (Phillip loved dark humor given his choice in movie roles, I highly doubt he would be offended)In all seriousness though, it is a tragedy. R.I.P, love the guy.
Is dying of a heroin overdose really a tragedy? More like a waste to me.
all that talent comes at a cost
Shame. Had a lot of really good roles over the last 2 decades. I always enjoyed his comedic roles just as much as his more recent dramatic roles.
