I’ve seen him portray Philip Seymour Hoffman in Red Dragon, Boogie Nights, The Big Lebowski, and Catching Fire. In Capote he portrayed Truman Capote. I haven’t seen enough of his films to truly come to any conclusions on his acting abilities.

He has three children with a long time girlfriend so he is decidedly heterosexual. However, he has played a number of gay roles, so he was definitely not portraying himself.

On IMDB he claims his favorite role was the one he played in 'Magnolia'. I loved that film, and I thought he did an amazing job in it.

At one point he has to look out the window and see it raining frogs after his client had just died. The look on his face was priceless.

Same here, I liked him, but after seeing the same him several times, some of it wore off.

A rich man in his 40s dying with a dope needle in his arm, to me he telegraphed some sort of prideful arrogance that didn't bode well for his future, this doesn't shock me much.

I do love The Big Lebowski, but not because of Hoffman. John Goodman is who stole that show.
