A strawberry blond character actor who has given fearless performances that expose both the beauty and ugliness of real life, Philip Seymour Hoffman has created a number of memorable characters since his debut in the early 1990s. Some may recall the actor as one of the snooty prepsters in "Scent of a Woman" (1992) while others might remember him as Dusty, one of the storm chasers in "Twister" (1996). Smaller roles in films including "Leap of Faith" (1992), "Sliver" (1993), and "When a Man Loves a Woman" (1994) helped to earn him a "Hey, it's that guy" level of familiarity with audiences before his real breakthrough came with a turn as the slightly pathetic Scotty, the film crew member with a crush on porn star Dirk Diggler, in "Boogie Nights" (1997)....
