'Hunger Games' co-stars express emotions over Philip Seymour Hoffman's Death

Philip Seymour Hoffman's death comes hours before the Super Bowl, and in the middle of the filming productions for his upcoming movies The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2.

Hoffman who was 46, died of a apparent heroin drug overdose and played the character of Plutarch Heavensbee. In his role he played the new Head Gamemaker in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and is secretly planning a rebellion against the Capitol. We have to wait to see what will happen now that the actor has died, it has been said that he would be killed off, or they will recast him.

Hoffman was gaining a popular view, as his role was growing into the next two films, while he planned the next game and rebellion against the Capitol.
