Hill Credits Hoffman For Big Break....

Superbad star Jonah Hill credits Dustin Hoffman for giving him his big break after impressing the Hollywood legend at a poetry session.The funnyman was at an open mic poetry night when he was spotted by Hoffman - who promptly put him in 2004's I Heart Huckabees.Hill says, "There was this bar in New York that did open-mic poetry but they were all super serious and dark. I found them funny so I'd write fake poems but pretend they were real.

"Dustin saw them, liked them, said he's put me in a movie. And he did.".
