Huge if it happens........this is a Triple Crown possibility for the once great star - who is just missing a Tony (7 Oscar nods, 2 wins, an Emmy win on 1 nod, and a Tony nod). Scott Rudin is a Broadway monopolizing asshat but he delivers the good usually and the Tony nods......
Hoffman is dissed on this board all the time but I still maybe rank him ahead of Hackman, Lemmon, and Newman in my top 10 for American film actors (fight me!) - those guys are all close to me and Hoffman's peak was unfnckwithable though his decline was also steeper. This role got Paul Newman his only Tony nod - late in his life - and isn't showy but it's safe and for an 80+ actor and Broadway veteran .......may be a perfect fit.
Hoffman will play the role of the Stage Manager in the classic Thornton Wilder play, sources close to the production say.
