Philip Seymour Hoffman in that role?

Philip Seymour Hoffman in that role? Why? There is something very bizarre about this dude. His hair looks like loppemarket wig. He has more length horizontally than vertically. His throat is drowning in his chest. His bizarre skin color looks like he has some kinda skin-disease or something. He looked like he is Marisa Tomei's dad (he is actually much younger than her in reality, hard to believe!). Every time Albert Finney and PSH are together in a scene, they look like two monster-looking grandpapas are talking. PSH cannot even be imagined as Finney's son, they look like twins, two twin grandpa.
