"In spite of his life seeming superficially great, in spite of all the praise and accolades, in spite of all the loving friends and family, there is a predominant voice in the mind of an addict that supersedes all reason and that voice wants you dead," Brand says. = Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of the finest actors of his generation. Life can be insane and fatal, sadly. Addicts - pills and drugs are NOT the solution. It is an accident. It is a tragedy. Please send prayers to Mimi and the children. Pip is deified. Vale. Vale. Vale.
