PT.2 - HACKMAN & HOFFMAN: FORMER ROOMATES, HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS (2003 - '06)
Ойын-сауық
HACKMAN & HOFFMAN:
FORMER ROOMATES NOW HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS
(2003 - 2006 / Betelgeuse - In The Moment - Fox / 21 mins. total)
First meeting as aspiring young actors at California's Pasadena Playhouse in 1956, Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman would venture to New York, room together during lean times, then individually go on to become two of the most respected performers in cinema history. Oddly enough however, they'd never work together in film for decades till 2003's John Grisham adaptation RUNAWAY JURY.
We celebrate the lifelong friendship of the acting titans with a double-shot reminiscence including (in Pt. 1) their respective comments during individual appearances on TV's INSIDE THE ACTORS STUDIO, then (in Pt. 2), the duo's behind-the-scenes rehearsal and performance of their first (and to date ONLY) on screen pairing - as opposing lawyers in RUNAWAY JURY's key character confrontation sequence.

Gene Hackman, is probably one of the best all round actors, ever.

Yup. Miss him. His retirement, while well deserved, was/is a loss for us all.
Hackman is such a legend, such a shame he's not talked about much these days.

I was lucky to have met Dustin Hoffman, briefly, years ago in New York. He had just been nominated for “Wag the Dog”, and I wished him good luck. He was very gracious and pleasant.❤

Awesome film! He and De Niro tore it up!
Gene Hackman my favorite badass
gene was one of the greatest natural actors of a bygone era. he could flesh out his characters and make them believable and "real".
They want to very good work. What is wrong with being nervous, scared for wanting to succeed with a scene. Wanting to be prepared and satisfied in the end. Bravo you two😀
When you have a well written scene and two old pros at the top of their game still, there is no way you won't capture magic!
Peace gene Hackman you are one of the greatest!
One if the finest actor's around. Gene's portrayal as Popeye Doyle in the French Connection was superb and flawless he is Popeye Doyle. Gene projects a certain intensity it's magical, it can be compared to somebody attempting to climb Mount Everest no matter what obstacles are thrown in the way they are going to reach the summit. Want to wish Gene a happy long and healthy life.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
One of my fav actors of all time is Mr Gene Hackman.
Two amazing talents!!
if you're an actor, you should be paying attention to this. Great pearls of wisdom relating to craft here.

It was great to finally see these two face off in a film together. I am a big fan of both of their films, and I wish that they could have done more together. Such talented and articulate men, who at one time were both voted "Most likely not to succeed," in their acting class or school.

Shows how school doesn't measure talent. Sometimes there isn't a metric for what will work or won't.
Two of the best actors of all time. Love this! Thanks for uploading!
Nice to see these two together. Friends since 1956, they shared apartments with each other in New York in the sixties while struggling actors. They also roomed with Robert Duvall. All three became great actors.
I love how gene calls dustin, dusty. I'm a big fan of dustin and I always call him dusty-h and now I know I'm not the only one
Gene my favorite actor of all time
That was awesome... Thanks...
My favorite actors. I can't believe that I found this post. Thanks, FlyingBear.
I love these two guys...best actors....wish they would do several more movies together.....thanx so much for uploading this :-)
Thanks for uploading this . Dustin and Gene are my all time fave actors ..
Gene Hackman was always so charming
Wow,,i really liked this..Just finished Watching the Movie and to see this is truly a Bonus...
Whoa, this is gold!!!!
The bathroom scene. Just epic
The nice thing about this video is how Gene Hackman seemed genuinely happy and relaxed when he was with Dustin Hoffman, both on the set and off it. You can see the comfort he felt in working/being interviewed with an old friend vs. being on his own. I've read a lot of interviews with him where he talked about being intrinsically shy (which a lot of actors are) and even the director here said he was a quiet kind of guy, so that tracks.
Gene Hackman is such a good actor that when I watch I do not think there's Gene Hackman I actually believe in the character my favorite 3 movies with him are this, Enemy of the state & Mississippi burning.
Gene Hackman is my favourite actor
"Good actors make you remember their other roles, and great actors make you forget them" ~~ unknown
This is great stuff!
Oh my! I may have to go and lay down in darkened room that was so amazing!
love it
Somewhat interesting video. Notable is that we see D. Hoffman not behaving like a jerk. I guess being around Gino brings him back to humanity. D.H.'s greatest role is still _Midnight Cowboy_ - again, for the humanity.

I agree with your estimation of Dustin Hoffman. I honestly think I'd move to another table if he sat next to me. Great actor ...
They needn't had worried. One of the best scenes in the whole movie from two great actors at the top of their game. Often you get heavyweights put together in a film just because of who they are but their scene(s) don't really serve the film, doesn't help move the narrative forward and/or it was executed poorly. Not here. Hoffman and Hackman sold a very engaging scene that held the viewers attention with proper meaty dialogue amidst a sharp philosophical and moral debate.
Unreal how their acting teacher told them they'd never make it.
Just noticed Gene Hackman was the reason why I watched the old Superman.
Gotta have balls to direct these two.
Both of them are great ! But I love more Gene!
Interesting! At 12:41 Gene Hackman says the word "knackered", a quintessentially British word to describe being exhausted.
Lástima que no está en KZread toda la película! Es un peliculón!! . Y que la tradujeron al español...
They use to be roommates way back in the day.
The Class of 1930; Steve McQueen , Gene Hackman ,Clint Eastwood,Richard Harris,Connery Sean Connery !!!
Gene is terrifying, Dustin's a pain.
Fine actors.
I fell in love with Gene in French Connection even though I was in highschool...... are you available????
Gene is always the lonely Monk in Young Frankenstein to me. Looks like he's in need of an espresso!!
Such cuties!!!
would be great if Gene Hackman did more comedy movies, he was great in Heartbreakers (2001)

What movie?
What...they almost NOT have ANY scene together...?? 😮 Haven't read the book... So, do the two characters supposed to never meet in the story?
All the rest is coloured bubbles.. But they're people Fitch. My point exactly. Gene Hackman portrays calculating greed and psychopathic indifference to people.
Dustin hoffman is maybe considered over rated... but take a look at "Little Big Man" again.
