And though I'm not always a fan of using famous actors for voice-acting (they sometimes do have rather bland voices), the Panda films so far have gotten it right. And among the actors used, there is Dustin Hoffman.
These days, that name may no longer be all that much on the A-list, but turn the clock back a few decades and any poster with "Dustin Hoffman" on it might as well have featured the title Oscar Bait: The Movie, the man being a veritable magnet for them with a string of great, great performances.
Therefore, once again I'm going to use eleven pictures of one of my favourite thespians to make a quiz. Click through the images, and guess which movies they're from. No competition, no prizes, just for fun, try to see how far you get without using IMDb!
And I'll post the answers next Thursday, or earlier if someone gets all of them right...
And here he is, in a publicity picture for the first Kung Fu Panda, side by side with the character he's portraying: Master Shifu.
