Interesting.

For those who have been passed over because of the way they look. Interesting realisation by Dustin Hoffman when preparing for Tootsie.

I mostly love hearing actors talk about performing and Dustin is a very thoughtful actor. I thought his epiphany was very honest (and sadly true).

I love that vid. I've seen in on tumblr before I think, but it's worth watching it a second and third and a forth time. I feel touched that he's still so affected by that experience, even years later. Everyone should watch this and think a little about how they see people. It happens often enough that some of us are overlooked, for dating or other things.

Hi,

Yes. I think Dustin makes what we already know very personal and therefore makes it more poignant somehow. I think people most definitely can be overlooked because of their appearance - and often have to work extra hard to be noticed.
