Luck - Dustin Hoffman on Starring in a TV Series

Share on Reddit

"Luck" is the first TV series Dustin Hoffman has ever starred in, and one of only a handful of TV credits in his long career. So he went in not entirely knowing what to expect, and came out pleasantly surprised.

"There's no reason for me to butter up HBO. The contract is done already, it's too late to fire me," Hoffman said Friday (Jan. 13) at the TV critics' press tour. "I have not had this experience before. ... It's very hard to do your best work. You want a shot at it, and you cannot get a shot to do your best work in the studio system. You can't."

Hoffman says he really appreciates that HBO didn't meddle in the production of "Luck," in which he plays a gangster just out of prison who's trying to reclaim the influence he used to have around the Santa Anita racetrack. David Milch ("Deadwood," "John from Cincinnati") created it and executive produces with Michael Mann, who directed the pilot.
