BIOGRAPHY
Hoffman attended the University of Arizona. After graduating he moved to Los Angeles, California to begin an acting career.

His first role was as a security guard in El complot (1997). He was so nervous that he said both of his lines wrong. Fortunately, his misreading made Julia Roberts, Richard Donner, and the rest of the crew laugh so hard that his scene was included in the final cut, giving him the opportunity he so desperately needed.

After other small roles, he had his first prominent role as Freddie Sacker in the series The $treet (2000), from producer Darren Star. This allowed him to leave his job as a waiter and return to New York.

His latest television roles include Terry Loomis in Steven Bochco’s legal drama, Philly . He appeared in the series Jake in Progress , playing Patrick Van Dorn, opposite John Stamos , and in the ABC comedy Samantha Who?

In 2011, he began his starring role in the series Suits , playing Louis Litt, a character he has successfully portrayed ever since. He previously appeared in the films The Day After Tomorrow (2004), Blood Debt (2002) , Hostal (2005), Celular (2004) and The Condemned (2007).
