Robert Hoffman Fights Off 'Aliens In The Attic' In A New Film

Actor Robert Hoffman stopped by to discuss his lead role in upcoming feature film Aliens in the Attic.

Aliens in the Attic is an adventure/comedy about kids on a family vacation who must fight off an attack by knee-high alien invaders with world-destroying ambitions--while the youngsters' parents remain clueless about the battle.

Hoffman entered show business through his finesse as a professional dancer. The Gainesville, FL, native reportedly gravitated to footwork at the tender age of five, with enrollment in professional dance classes. Hoffman discovered his lifelong passion by watching superstar Michael Jackson perform and then subsequently moved to Madison, AL, and enrolled in dance classes. Years later he studied formally under the esteemed dance instructor Kim Wolfe. In time, Hoffman's tenacity and passion for dance led him to train with the Alabama Ballet, and when he opted to move to Hollywood and pursue film acting, dancing enabled him to carve out an unusual niche via a related series of movie roles.

Hoffman bowed as a beach dancer in the Ben Affleck gangster farce Gigli (2003), then appeared in a similar bit part in the dance-themed You Got Served (2004) and gradually expanded his range with supporting roles in the big-screen romantic comedy She's the Man (2006) and the supernatural horror movie Shrooms (2007). The urban drama Step Up 2: The Streets, however, represented Hoffman's breakthrough and brought him his first lead. In that film, he played a professional dancer who participates in an underground dance contest.

Aliens in the Attic hits theatres on July 31. For more information, visit www.aliensintheatticmovie.com.
