File-In this file photo provided by Sony Pictures Classics, Philip Seymour Hoffman as Tuman Capote, a one-of-a-kind author sent to Kansas to pen an article about the brutal murder of a family in a small Kansas town that sent shockwaves through the nation in "Capote." In a medium (movies) that prizes glamour and flash, he offered the opposite: untidy, imperfect, shy, awkward and eminently real people. Despite his outsized talent, he was relentlessly humble. Bennett Miller, his longtime friend and “Capote” director, once called him “a shaman-like actor.” (AP Photo/Sony Pictures Classics, Attila Dory, File)
