With two Oscars and two Emmys, Dustin Hoffman is one of the most versatile actors in the business. Born and raised in the movie capital of the world, he was voted "least likely to succeed" at Los Angeles High School and attended the L.A. Conservatory of Music before deciding to try acting. Hoffman quickly established himself as a stage actor in New York and got his big film break in The Graduate, followed by many memorable performances. At age 71, Hoffman plays the romantic lead in the drama, Last Chance Harvey.
