Dustin Hoffman is younger than John McCain.
On March 6, 1970, five members of the Weather Underground accidentally detonated dynamite at a makeshift bomb factory in the basement of 18 West 11th Street in Greenwich Village. You can spot the building (shown here) from a mile away, as it was rebuilt in a modernist style that differs dramatically from both its original design and the Federalist buildings that surround it.
Dustin Hoffman (aka Ben Braddock, aka Ratzo Rizzo, aka Louis Dega, aka Lenny Bruce, aka Carl Bernstein, aka the guy from Marathon Man) is younger than John McCain by just about a year… and he lived next door.
(You’ll note that I left “Tootsie” out of his list of credits… because that movie was just plain dumb.)
In defense of “Tootsie,” it was so much better than “Sphere.”

Left out two of his most important roles: Willy Loman and Captain Hook!

If Hoffman had been sitting in his study, he might have been seriously injured and killed, and Al Pacino would have gotten a lot more work in the 1980s.
