Tootsie(1982)

New York actor Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman) is a talented perfectionist who is so hard on himself and others that his agent (Sydney Pollack) can no longer find work for him. After a soap opera audition goes poorly, Michael reinvents himself as actress Dorothy Michaels and wins the part. What was supposed to be a short-lived role turns into a long-term contract, but when Michael falls for his cast mate Julie (Jessica Lange), complications develop that could wreck everything.

He was a little gruff, combative, gentle and funny playing Jessica Lange’s unsuspecting father, who falls for a cross-dressing Dustin Hoffman.

I love how Charles’ face dissolves into anger when he notices Dustin sitting next to him (if you haven’t seen the film, this scene is just after Dustin reveals that he is not a woman and after Charles proposes to him.)

This scene is funny, seeing Dorothy/Michael admiring Julie while her Les was admiring Dorothy/Michael.

I’d be staring too… At Mr. Durning. What? Look at him.

I love this scene. It’s nothing special. Just wanted to post some pics of Charles Durning’s ass. Why? Just look at it.
