> [@Spam16v](#): > > wonder how they’re going to script him out of the Hunger Games unless it’s already in the can… You can’t really script him out when the books already wrote the script. They’ll just plug in another actor like they did in Harry Potter when Richard Harris died after playing Dumbledore for 2 movies. ---

Hard to feel bad for any junky but even harder when they have all the opportunity in the world to get help. 23 years sober and clean. I agree, with a net worth in the ten’s of millions of dollars and the ability to pretty much command a blank check for any movie, this was completely avoidable. However, unless you have been addicted to something such as heroin, I don’t know if we have the ability to even comprehend what addiction does. I feel _bad_ for him. I generally feel _bad_ for anyone who dies…it’s permanent mistake/decision. It’s not like you shoot up heroin, with the intention to die. _Bad_ for him, _terrible_ for his family. 15 years from now, his kids are going to have to read about how their father (who probably never hurt a soul in the world, but his) died with a needle in his arm. God damn, I’ve gotten a lot softer and empathetic in my old age. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/rip-philip-seymour-hoffman/234727.md?page=2)
