Dustin Hoffman was born on August 8, 1937, in a middle-class family in Los Angeles. Influenced by his parents who loved film and art, he liked imitation and acting since he was a child. While in college, he was fascinated by drama. After graduating from the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music, he came to a famous actor's academy in New York in 1958 to study acting theory and techniques. But his plain appearance and straightforward temper never gave him a chance to become famous. Hoffman, who soon entered the society, encountered repeated setbacks. He once and twice worked as a caregiver in a mental hospital and a dishwasher in a hotel.

By chance, he played a role in the drama "The Journey of the Fifth Horse". His acting skills deeply impressed the great director Mike Nichols in the audience. It was under the cultivation of Nichols that Hoffman truly entered the film industry. Hoffman's most famous work was "The Graduate" in 1967. This was his first breakthrough in acting, and he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor that year. Two years later, he successfully played a down-and-out pauper in the film "Midnight Cowboy", which was unforgettable. Since then, Hoffman has starred in many films such as "John and Mary", "Little Giants", "Straw Dogs", "Straight Time", etc., which have been well received. At this moment, Hoffman has already shown the world that he has a broad range of dramas. Of course, for this versatile actor, his career is also brilliant because he won the Oscar for Best Actor twice for starring in the 1979 film "The Kramers" and the 1988 "Rain Man" award. The success of the film "The Kramers" should also be attributed to Hoffman's simple and delicate performance, which won him an Oscar. Similarly, in order to play the role of Raymond, an autistic patient with eccentric behavior and dementia in "Rain Man", Hoffman went to a mental hospital and lived with those with autism for several months. It is precisely because of his diligent and persistent character that Hoffman, at the age of knowing his fate, confidently and humbly won the Oscar again. In addition, Hoffman also starred in films such as "Death of a Salesman" and "Ishtar" based on the stage play of the same name. In the 1990s, he changed his previous image of an ordinary person and frequently appeared on the screen as a villain. He appeared in the police film "Dick Tracy", the gangster film "Barry Basquet" and the 1991 "Hook". He played many distinctive characters in many films such as "The Captain" and the following year's "Hero", and gained a good reputation.

In 1995, Hoffman starred in the film "Fear". In preparation for his role, Hoffman read a large number of books on viruses and infectious diseases. His rigorous work attitude and superb acting skills are once again amazing. Nowadays, Hoffman is still climbing towards new heights.

Dustin Hoffman is a renowned film acting master. Although he is only 1.63 meters tall and has an average appearance, he has created many vivid and different screen images with his extraordinary acting skills and changing costumes and faces. He is especially good at portraying small characters and enjoys the reputation of a "chameleon" in Hollywood. Good name.
