Click here to send us a message!Phillip Seymour Hoffman was one of the greatest actors of his generation, and he tragically left us far too soon in 2014. But his work lives on, and this week we're taking a look at his two lead queer roles. The idea of straight people playing queer is a controversial one, but Phillip Seymour Hoffman sets the bar with his performances in Flawless and Capote. Despite queer writer/director Joel Schumacher, Flawless doesn't seem to understand Hoffman's character and leans too heavily on Robert DeNiro's macho cop, Walter. In Capote he beautifully captures a queer icon, winning his only Oscar in the process. Join us as Lauren and Brian discuss representation and how if you're straight and want to play queer, do it as well as Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
