• Just saw the film "Capote" at the 32nd telluride film festival yesterday. first cut was finished on friday of last week. it is an astonishing tour de force performance by Philip Seymour Hoffman. His portrayal will be considered a defining moment in his career. i would be willing to wager he will win the Oscar. Naic 03:54, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

• Let's hope your wager lives up Naic! Anyway, this article is vastly lacking in information. When I get the time, I aim to update things. 06:12, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image advertises 'Capote' more than Philip Seymour Hoffman

Can't we get a more appropriate image for Hoffman than a movie poster?

It was a bit difficult finding a suitable pic, but I think I got a pretty good one. Thebogusman 04:27, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

A big improvement for the article. Thanks. --BlueTruth 22:12, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Height

If Phil is 5' 9½", how did they get him shorter for Capote? Chris 18:02, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birthplace

Phil wasn't born in Fairport, but in Rochester. Rochester is where the hospitals are, and he wasn't born at the family home (King's Lacey Way, to be exact).

[edit] Irish Heritage

Given his surname, he is clearly of German heritage too. Why isn't it mentioned?

[edit] Reply to Birthplace

Although all the hospitals are in Rochester, every biography on the net says he was born in Fairport.
