2. Not just a great director...
He was a gifted comedic actor, as well.

The "tomato" scene with Dustin Hoffman in "Tootsie" has me rolling every time I watch it.

RIP, Mr. Pollack. :(

5. The tomato scene
Yup. The look he gave Hoffman "I'm alone in a small room with a crazy man." Just about perfect.

Rest in peace, Mr Pollack and thank you.

3. A class act has left the stage, all too early.
God bless, Mr. Pollack. Thanks for your work.

7. What a great story about "Tootsie:"
"Pollock said in 2005 that for 'Tootsie,' Hoffman pushed him into playing the agent role, repeatedly sending him roses with a note reading, 'Please be my agent. Love, Dorothy.'"
