When The Actor Has Too Much Range.......
Philip Seymour Hoffman built one of the most varied filmographies of his generation. He moved fluidly between supporting roles and leads, comedy and tragedy, prestige drama and studio franchise work. He really could do it all. His range was structural. He could disappear into character parts, dominate ensemble films, or anchor psychologically dense material with equal authority. I remember when I first saw him in Mission Impossible III, and it was almost surprising how he immediately stood out as the best part of that film. The sheer menace in his posture & line delivery really made you feel a certain way that no villain in that franchise before or after could replicate. The following highlights trace his tremendous range in chronological order. #videoessay #movieknowledge
