In Reply to: Hoff is amazing. Catch him in "The Big Lebowski." nt posted by tinear on October 10, 2005 at 15:04:10:
tinear,I haven't seen Capote- (only Hoffman briefly interviewed), but Hoffman as "Brandt", the smooth-faced synchophantic aide to the idle rich, crippled -sorry wealthy, physically challenged- "Big" Lebowski- was brilliant. He's the perfect overly buttoned down foil for Bridges' slacker.
Whenever Hoffman calls Jeff Bridges "Dude" in that dead-pan, preppie voice, I would double over laughing.
"This is our concern, Dude."
Hoffman seems to be a smart chap as well. "Capote" is bound to be a good one.
