Jake Hoffman is the 39-year-old son of Dustin Hoffman and his wife Lisa Hoffman. Like his father, Jake is also interested in cinema but he is more concentrated on directing. In 2003, Jake finished his education at NYU Film School. He has shot music videos and written scripts for short films which he then directed. His first work as a director, the drama Asthma with Benedict Samuel and Krysten Ritter, was released in 2014.
But Jake is most famous for his acting: he portrayed designer Steve in The Wolf of Wall Street and appeared in the series Luck with Dustin Hoffman. And they didn’t play father and son, but grandfather and grandson. Also, Jake had a supporting role in The Irishman that was released in 2019.
