Actors who die young and mid career are always talked about as being a tragic loss but this is one instance where it's definitely true. I'm convinced he was entering all-time great status. He could steal a film with only the minimum of screen-time (Boogie Nights, Magnolia) and had that ability to appear likeable in even the most unlikeable of roles (The Master). I imagine the upcoming oscars will be dominated by acceptance speeches filled with personal tributes that, for a change, actually have some substance behind them.
