In a chance meeting, where both were pleasantly surprised, Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman ran into each other on August 25, 1978 at the Russian Tea Room in New York. They hadn’t seen one another since they costarred in Midnight Cowboy in 1969. Hoffman was at the restaurant with his manager discussing his current movie, Kramer vs. Kramer. Voight came to meet his agent regarding his new film Champ.
