One of the great actors..Dustin Hoffman started his acting career in 1960 on theatre and then - entered in cinema & did TV also!

I first watched his intense acting in film 'Papillon' (1973) directed by Franklin Schaffner. In that his role of prisoner with Steve McQueen was unique!

Dustin Hoffman won Best Actor 'Oscar' for character he played in 'Kramer Vs Kramer' (1979). Based on novel by Avery Corman.. this film tells the story of divorced couple and suffering of their family & son! Robert Benton made in this film he was opposite.. great actress Meryl Streep!
