Philip Seymour Hoffman played Capote, but he's been turning in brilliant performances for years. He was the spoiled kid in Scent of a Woman and the yuppie in the Talented Mr. Ripley and the male nurse in Magnolia.

He also played Lester Bangs in "Almost Famous". Lester Bangs, aside from being a writer, was as different from Truman Capote as a character could be. Hoffman has incredible range.

That's right, almost forgot about that role. Lester Bangs is one of those writers who is better as an "idea" than a reality. His writing actually sucks.

I didn't see the Capote movie, but intend to. I've heard that it portrays Capote as he was...

Was Hoffman the chubby guy that Damon kills with a bust?
