It’s very sad to hear of the death of brilliant actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman. In addition to being a great actor and father, he also was a Spider-Man fan. Sean Howe recently posted this picture of Hoffman in college. If you look behind him you’ll see two Amazing Spider-Man comics on the wall.
Also I’d been holding onto this picture I found awhile back of Hoffman taking his kids trick or treating. I think he would of been a great Spider-villain, perhaps Doc Ock? We’ll unfortunately never know.
