Dustin Hoffman filmography

American actor Dustin Hoffman began his career by appearing in an episode of *Naked City* in 1961. His first theatrical performance was 1961's *Shmem needs a shink* as Ridzinski. Following several guest appearances on television, he starred in the 1966 play *Eh?*; his performance garnered him both a Theatre World Award and Drama Desk Award. Hoffman made his film debut in 1967 when he appeared in the comedy *The Tiger Makes Out*. In the same year, his breakthrough role as Benjamin "Ben" Braddock, the title character in Mike Nichols' comedy-drama *The Graduate*, led to Hoffman achieving star status and his first Academy Award nomination. He then acted in the play *Jimmy Shine* as the eponymous character and the comedy film *Madigan's Millions* (both 1968). In 1969, he starred alongside Jon Voight in the Academy Award for Best Picture winner *Midnight Cowboy*, for which Hoffman was nominated a second time for the Academy Award for Best Actor.

The 1970s saw Hoffman star in several critically acclaimed and commercially successful films, including the Western *Little Big Man* (1970), psychological thriller *Straw Dogs* (1971), prison film *Papillon* (1973) alongside Steve McQueen, *Lenny* (1974) about the controversial comedian Lenny Bruce, and the political thriller *All the President's Men* (1976) as journalist Carl Bernstein investigating the Watergate scandal alongside Bob Woodward (played by Robert Redford). After starring in the suspense-thriller *Marathon Man* (1976) and the crime drama *Straight Time* (1978), Hoffman starred in the 1979 drama *Kramer vs. Kramer*, which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor for the first time for his performance as Ted Kramer.

After a three-year acting hiatus, he starred in the comedy *Tootsie* in 1982 as a struggling actor who pretends to be a woman in order to get an acting role. He returned to stage acting with a 1984 performance as Willy Loman in *Death of a Salesman* – Hoffman reprised the role a year later in a television film. 1987 saw the release of originally ill-received comedy *Ishtar*, in which he starred with Warren Beatty; its critical support has since grown. He won his second Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of the autistic savant Ray Babbitt in the 1988 film *Rain Man*, co-starring Tom Cruise. In 1989, he was nominated for a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award for playing Shylock in a stage performance of *The Merchant of Venice*. In the 1990s, he made appearances in such film as Warren Beatty's action comedy adaptation *Dick Tracy* (1990), Steven Spielberg's *Hook* (1991) as Captain Hook, guest starred in the 1991 "Lisa's Substitute" episode of *The Simpsons*, medical disaster *Outbreak* (1995), legal crime drama *Sleepers* (1996), thriller *Mad City* (1997), and the satirical black comedy *Wag the Dog* (1997) alongside Robert De Niro.

In the 2000s, he played theatrical producer Charles Frohman in *Finding Neverland*, co-starred in the comedy *Meet the Fockers* (both 2004) as Bernie Focker, the fantasy thriller *Perfume: The Story of a Murderer* (2006), and played the title character in the family comedy *Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium* (2007). Hoffman has acted in the *Kung Fu Panda* franchise since 2008 and reprised his role as Focker in *Little Fockers* (2010). He starred in the HBO drama series *Luck*, which was cancelled after one season due to animal safety concerns, and made his directorial debut in 2012 with *Quartet*.
