Dustin Hoffman
Dustin Lee Hoffman - born 8 Aug 1937, in Los Angeles, California - has amassed two Oscar wins and five other nominations in his 70 years. Not bad for a guy who was apparently voted 'least likely to succeed', along with Gene Hackman, by his first acting school.
Hack & Hoff ditched the aforementioned Pasadena Playhouse for odd-job poverty in New York, where Hoffman became a dedicated method actor studying under Lee Strasberg. After some TV and off-Broadway work, Hoffman landed the Benjamin Braddock role in 1967's The Graduate, when Warren Beatty and Robert Redford said no. He landed his first Academy Award nomination too.
The second Oscar nod arrived two years later with Midnight Cowboy, and Hoffman was off to the races. Big movies like All The President's Men and Marathon Man followed, before Hoffman's first Oscar win in 1979, with Kramer vs Kramer. His second victory would follow with 1988's Rain Man.
Most recently seen in Stranger Than Fiction and Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium, the ever-eclectic Hoffman will soon be heard as the voice of Shifu in Kung Fu Panda...
Wise words: "We all believe what we read. I read how Tom Cruise and I were two big egos holding up shooting. I know that isn't true - but if I wasn't making a movie with him and I just picked up the paper, I'd believe it. That's interesting, isn't it?"
