And now comes word that Philip Seymour Hoffman, NYU drama school grad and one of the greatest actors of any time, has died in his West Village home of an apparent heroin overdose.

He was 46, a father of 3, and made it 20 years past the tragic club of so many others who have died from a drug overdoses at 27 or 28 years of age, like Heath Ledger, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Amy Winehouse and Jean-Michel Basquiat. All of them lived in, died in, performed in or had close connections to and spent time in the East Village, which is part of what makes this place special.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman, you were never uncool. May you rest in peace.
