Another young star joining MPC's tradition in receiving a 1999 Star of Tomorrow award is Philip Seymour Hoffman. Familiar to New York theatergoers, this very busy actor had no less than three movies open for the holidays: MGM's Flawless opposite Robert DeNiro; Paramount's The Talented Mr. Ripley, alongside Matt Damon and Gweneth Paltrow; and New Line's Magnolia, with Tom Cruise and Jason Robards. Moviegoers will recall his other notable roles in Twister, Boogie Nights, Patch Adams and Scent of a Woman.
