One of his many lost gems.


I watched Cold Mountain the other day and was reminded of two things: I like the name Inman, and I absolutely love Philip Seymour Hoffman's performance. It's really a shame that his scummy pastor gets lost amongst all the other masterpieces Hoffman has created. He provides the film's only moments of pure levity. Furthermore, he takes you from hating him to liking him in a matter of screen minutes. He's totally untrustworthy, but just a raw joy to watch. Everyone should give this movie another go simply for his brief screen time.
