BIOGRAPHY: Graduated from Los Angeles High School in 1955. Went to Santa Monica City College where he dropped out after a year due to bad grades. But before he did, he took an acting course because he was told that "nobody flunks acting." Also received some training at Los Angeles Conservatory of Music. Decided to go into acting because he did not want to work or go into the service. Trained at The Pasadena Playhouse for two years.
TRIVIA:
- Was considered for the role of Mario Mario in _Super Mario Bros. (1993)_ (qv).
- The bathroom scene in _Runaway Jury (2003)_ (qv), where Roar confronts Finch is the first ever dialog in a movie between him and 'Gene Hackman' (qv). It was added when someone on the crew found out that the two, though they had been friends for 50 years, had never starred in a movie together.
- Both he and 'Robert Duvall' (qv) said one of the best reasons why they went to acting classes were the girls. When they were young, the classes were a gold mine to them.

- Has a house in the Kensington area of London.
- His parents named him Dustin after actor 'Dustin Farnum' (qv).
- He was voted the 28th Greatest Movie Star of all time by Entertainment Weekly.
- Despite being old friends and roommates with 'Gene Hackman' (qv) back in the 1960s, it was literally decades before he appeared on screen with him. He finally starred with Hackman in _Runaway Jury (2003)_ (qv).
