Trivia
Dustin Hoffman based his character on the movie's
screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, particularly his withdrawn and shy mannerisms which
had inspired Hoffman when meeting Trumbo for the first time. Hoffman once said
of Trumbo: "He's a real feisty man and he's got a combination of toughness
and sophistication and integrity that I felt were right for Dega....So I said,
why didn't he write the character of himself, so to speak?”
