A fine actor who loses one star for being in too many turkeys. Probably due to his very high paychecks. That would limit the films he would be asked to do. I would like to see him do a few cameos for scale, like DeNiro does on ocassion.

Yeah, he is a very talented actor when he picks the right role and/or the right movie. I just don't particularly care for the man himself, he is one of those Hollywood leftist/elitist social progressive know-what's-best-for-everybody creeps.

My all time favorite movie was Midnight Cowboy. Dustin Hoffman was and is an incredible actor. In fact I just bought that movie for my collection. John Voight also did a tremendous job in the movie also.

One of America's great actors, although he doesn't seem to have done much lately (I'm not sure that "Meet the Flockers"...or Fockers or whatever... qualifies as a movie). Had immense range and excelled at everything from heavyweight drama to slapstick comedy. One of my favorite roles was Max Dembo, the paroled convict in the unjustly neglected 1978 film "Straight Time", which was based on Ed Bunker's seathing and grim underworld novel "No Beast So Fierce." (Bunker, who had a cameo role in "Straight Time", also played Mr. Blue in Quentin Tarantino's best movie "Reservoir Dogs".) Hoffman did have a funny cameo in the last episode this past season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" that was hilarious. I wish he made more movies. Then again, I wish Hollywood was still making movies that were worthy of him.

His best performance was in Rain Man without a question. The only problem I have with him is that I have the feeling he picks his movies by oscar winning performance possibility.

Not as big a pop culture icon as a DeNiro, Nicholson, or Cruise because they often essentially play themselves. Dusty is the best pure actor of his time. His two greatest scenes take place at crosswalks. Ratso Rizzo's I'm walking here! and Rain Man's stopping in the middle of traffic when the sign changes to don't walk.

So talented and versatile. He can play anyone and make it believable. All the more impressive because he is neither handsome, nor does he look like an everyday everyman type character. I much prefer the old time stars to the present cast of mostly vacuous and banal wannabes but Dustin Hoffman is as good an actor ever. The airport scene in Rain Man is one of the best sequences for an actor in the history of Hollywood. This guy should be at the top of the list not the highly overrated and strained overactor Tom Hanks.

I have been quite impressed with his work as an actor. I loved him in Rainman where he did a great job as an autistic man with savant skills. I liked him in Tootsie as the out of work actor who poses as a woman to get a role. he was also good in Kramer vs,Kramer, and Midnight Cowboy. I like that he has played a variety of roles very well. A versatile actor.

He was the No 1 man for me a few years back, Russ Crowe is doing it for me now. However, I consider Hoffman the greatest actor I have ever witnessed on the screen. Kramer Vs Kramer is up there in my Top 10 fav Films and his performance was outstanding. I could not imagine another actor in that particular role. Convincing and believable. An actor is only as good as the script allows, yet Hoffman can turn a bad script into something truly amazing. Wonderful performances in many many great Films. I bow to this man.

Never really saw the appeal of this guy. He's alright, but to give him more than 3 stars would be hard for me. His performance on Rainman was so overrated. I still can't believe they would give him an oscar for that.

He's pretty underrated and never really regarded as Hollywood's "A-list". But his acting abilities have held him the highest regard and his a very prolific actor. His best movies are Kramer vs. Kramer, Rain Man, and The Graduate.

Rain Man, Kramer vs, Kramer, All the President's Men, Hook, Tootsie, and The Graduate. If you haven't seen at least three of these movies, please don't think you know anything about this man. He is easily one of the most versatile actors of all time and definitely one man who can not be labeled as playing the same type of character everytime.

Over the course of his career we have seen Dustin Hoffman play many different characters. And, I think, that is what acting is all about. He can take whatever personality the writer dreams up, with whatever handicaps or wardrobe the story asks for, and when he plays the role, we believe him. That is the mark of a true actor. He is not portraying himself, or the same basic part, in every film. He is acting, and we believe it. Few people in Hollywood have ever done it better.

I watched a couple of his films, and i really liked him very much. Dustin Hoffman can really potray various roles, as well as expresses himself well infront of the audience. My favourite Dustin Hoffman film is Tootsie, in which he played an actor pretending to be a female.

I realized just how precious the guy was when I saw "The Rain Man". He's so incredibly talented, it scares me. The guy can play any part he wants, at any time he wants. And he's how old now..64? My god, is he good. He'll always be an inspiration, and I'll be sure to tell my kids about this man.

Hoffman can take you from the tedium of suburbia to the old west to a mental hospital and you believe and care about every person he becomes along the way. He is an exceptionally gifted actor. His one and only major flop was "Ishtar" and somehow, I find it easier to blame Beatty for that. But then, I admit to being extremely prejudiced in this case.

He certainly has played performances with grand diversity. The problem, perhaps the main one, is that I'm still NOT overly impressed by any of them. He is, still, an American icon of an actor. A " Star," with talent. .....

Dustin Hoffman is an incredibly talented actor. "The Graduate" and "Kramer vs. Kramer" proved him as a force to be reckoned with. His performance in "Tootsie" was nothing less than inspired. He outdid himself, though, in the classic "Rain Man." I don't think anyone else could have played that part with such sensitivity and passion. He certainly deserves the Oscar awards that undoubtedly adorn his mantle.

One of my favorite movies is still The Graduate what a wonderful role he played as the aimless recent graduate who falls into an affair with his parents friend Mrs. Robinson and hey call me crazy but youch! she was looking pretty good at the time. That may have been a tough call for a lot of 21 yr. old men. It's only gotten better since then...All the Presidents Men..The Marathon Man okay okay so he's had a few dogs like Family Business or Outbreak but all in all I'd say he deserves an Edgar Derby double thumbs up.

If you think about the diversity of roles Dustin Hoffman has played, it's impossible not to consider him a great actor. Take "Rain Man," "Tootsie," and "Wag the Dog," to name a few. I see him as a male version of Meryl Streep.
