Viola Davis Pays Tribute to Philip Seymour Hoffman Following the 8th Anniversary of His Death

Viola Davis is honoring her late costar Philip Seymour Hoffman for the anniversary of his untimely death.

On Thursday, the Fences actress posted a photo of Hoffman to her Instagram, along with a heartfelt caption that read, "You are missed. Love you Philip ❤".

The post came one day after the eighth anniversary of Hoffman's death from a drug overdose at the age of 46.

Hoffman and Davis, now 56, costarred in the 2008 film Doubt, which also featured Meryl Streep and Amy Adams.

Although the two actors did not share any screen time, they (along with Streep and Adams) were nominated for Oscars for their roles in the John Patrick Shanley film.
