And as a girl who likes men that are far too old for her, I think Robert Evans is a sexy, sexy man.

5. "...and Sue Mengers, oh, she's got a cock on her, must be this long..."
That was hillarious. They must have just rolled off a full 1000 footer on him for that one, it just goes on and on. That's truly one of Hoffman's better moments. It's even better when you remember that his characterization in "Wag the Dog" was a straight parody of Evans.

Something I'd like to see is the footage from the ill-fated first production of "The Two Jakes" that had its plug pulled; I know Evans was an actor in it, but I'm not sure who he played.

4. You mean Bob Evans was an actor?
I thought he was just a restaurant.

6. Evan played in a test reel
of the 2 jakes. Harvey Keitel would later play the 2nd Jake, but Jack really wanted Bob to play it!Would have been awesome!

Yes, on the audio commentary Dustin Hoffman said he was playing Bob Evans the best he could without making it too obvious! The home tanning salon was a Evans homeage!
