When he's not being awesome in films -- his current role in "The Master" being perhaps his finest performance yet, Philip Seymour Hoffman spends much of his time directing in the theater. A member of the LAByrinth Theater Company, he's been working on the stage for decades, with memorable work including the award-winning Stephen Adly Guirgis play "Jesus Hopped The 'A' Train" and, more recently, "The Long Red Road" in Chicago, starring Tom Hardy. But his film directing work has been slower to get going, with Hoffman's sole effort so far being 2010's little-seen "Jack Goes Boating," which starred the actor/director alongside Amy Ryan and John Ortiz.
