Dustin Hoffman, born
August 8, 1937 in Los Angeles, is another actor who
stands the test of time. Hoffman has been acting
since the mid 60's. He didn't star in too many
movies during the 80's, but he starred in some really
great ones: Tootsie (1982), Ishtar (1987), Rain
Man (1988), and Family Business (1989). Most of
you probably remember him for his role in Tootsie, or as
his role as the autistic savant in Rain Man. Some
interesting trivia about Hoffman, during his days as a
struggling actor, Gene Hackman let him sleep on his
couch. He was also once considered for the lead
role in Blade Runner, which eventually went to Harrison
Ford. |
