"I was the one celebrity from Santa Monica College, except for James Dean - and he wasn't available...They asked me and I said, 'But I got kicked out...' and they said, 'You're an alumni," the 'Rain Man' star said.

However Hoffman later persuaded the college authorities to name the theatre after someone who was more worthy than him and he himself opted for a toilet tribute.

"I said, 'Give me a toilet...' because on the stage they rarely have a bathroom in the wings and you get nervous and you can't go to the bathroom, and you have to go underneath and go around...I said, 'Give the whole cast a toilet just in the wings before you come on, it's a great thing to do," he said

But WHY was he thrown out of the bathroom at Santa Monica Community College?

...they said, "You're an alumni,"...

Obviously they never took Latin. Even if he had graduated, he would have been an alumnus, not an alumni. Alumni is plural.

Unless, perhaps, he was beside himself.

Best scene in Tootsie was stolen by Bill Murray responding to Hoffman's confused relationships.
