**"I'm walking here! I'm walking here!" Shuffling, perhaps.**


One can always count on Hoffman and his ability to absorb the character he is portraying with such ease. He has a knack at portraying that deep, bronchial coughing schtick. When watching, I had to wear a surgical mask - just in case. More
