Think how different PSH's perf in Boogie Nights is from Punch Drunk Love.  Scotty is sweet and insecure, the Mattress Man is an overbearing bully.

Another Hoffman, Dustin, is versatile -- from The Graduate to Midnight Cowboy, or from yuppies (Kramer vs. Kramer, All The President's Men) to a sociopath (Straight Time), from austistic (Rain Man) to imperious (Tootsie), from bombastic (Lenny) to timorous (Straw Dogs).
