This was totally out of the blue! One of my favorite actors - not someone with amazing chops but he had a unique presence that will never be seen again.

Uhh... what?

He was this generation's Humphrey Bogart. He will be very sadly missed.

Huh... What?

He wasn't this generation's anything. He was a genius actor with mad chops.

Sorry about bring this back up - I'm really really sad to see him go as he was one of my favorite actors - but I always found his characters/acting to be very similar from film to film (i.e I didn't see much range in his performances so it seemed like he was just playing himself). Whenever he appeared I would mentally note - there's Hoffman. His personal presence eclipsed any character he was portraying - much like Bogart. That's what I meant in my original comment.

On a whim, decided to seek out the "Pig Fuck!" confrontation from The Master and the pastor's speech at the funeral in Synecdoche, New York and both became even more unexpectedly haunting as I realized Christopher Evan Welch is the one acting opposite to Hoffman in both. Welch having passed away only two months before him.

I understand, I'm just having a hard time conjuring an actor to whom that description applies less than PSH. The reality is just the polar opposite of what you're saying.
