Today, a private funeral will be held for actor Philip Seymour Hoffman at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola in Manhattan.
The 47-year-old actor is survived by his longtime partner Mimi O'Donnell and their three children. It's those kids that reporter Anthony Breznican has been thinking about this week.
He wrote an essay for Entertainment Weekly titled "The Night Philip Seymour Hoffman changed my life" and we had an opportunity to speak with him about it.
