Reveal answer
- Philip Seymour Hoffman
Why the answer fits
Philip Seymour Hoffman was an American actor born on 23 July 1967 and a recipient of the Academy Award for Best Actor. Those clues narrow the generation of performers to consider.
Hoffman appears in both Capote and Moneyball. Intersecting two identified film casts gives a stronger route to him than treating a missing credit in a partial filmography as proof against someone.
