Dustin Hoffman Screen Test "Tootsie"

[kevinastraw]

"I can pad anything." There's no padding in Hoffman's acting. If I met this character on a blind date, it would not be till bedtime that I would know the truth! He does not act, he transforms himself.

[1975dze]

He is a true legend!

[FetidToecheese]

amazing how he had not developed the character at all at this point

[pistachioguy]

Real actor - can play any role he sets his mind on - thing with many (if not most) Hollywood actors is that they always seem to play themselves on screen every time, ie it's hard to get away from their personality, be it Pacino, de Niro, Nicholson, or Brando - only Hoffman is an "actor" who subsumes his personality in practically every role he's ever played - Kramer vs Kramer, Midnight Cowboy, Graduate, Tootsie, Sleepers, Lenny, Wag the Dog, Bathgate, Madigan, Outbreak...he's a national treasure

[MikeysGayToday]

@pistachioguy I would not put Brando in this catagory.....In his time,he, Clift, Dean really changed the acting world.....Now Julia Roberts, LOVE HER, but always the same..... But GO DUSTIN!

[pistachioguy]

@Mikeys - Julia Roberts??!!

Brando's in there for a reason (and now that you mention it, Dean as well) - since they are more monodimensional actors -- they don't allow the roles to take over.

I omitted several other brilliant American actors like Kevin Spacey, William Hurt, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Ed Norton, Denzel Washington, and older ones Poitier, Mitchum, Lancaster, Peck , Bogie, Peck, Gable, Grant, Stewart, who in fact can ACT..but Julia?..is you head screwed on straight?

I saw him walking in downtown toronto, and my grandma and I started freaking out, and like, stalked him for half an hour. :PP But we never went up to him, cause he was with his family, But what a sight it was =D

[CharmingSage]

Yes! Hoffman can do no wrong.

[rubinoos1]

Does he looks more like a woman here or in the movie? I can't tell.

[pattyk77]

@rubinoos1 Looks more like a man here, the movie got it right in the end.

[ketchuplittletomato]

I like how the camera slowly goes up his legs at the beginning. ha

[karmakomodia]

He is outrageous. Crack up spoof screen test..!!

[zvonkybun]

Damn he's good.

[franklanguage]

Best line from Tootsie: "How much trouble can a baby be?"

[stephy198920011]

aww i love him! is itjust the glasses hes wearing or does he have a fake lazy eye in this? lol just a question not a criticism :)

[Ladybyron100]

He was wonderful, even in drag. I love the film

[yaywhewclips242]

obviously "dorthy" worked on her voice. i find "TOOTSIE" to be just a flawless American comedy movie!!

If a European is to see this, for the first time, as an example of a great film, I think they would be impressed.

And a very funny movie!! Hoffman is the best!
