5. Bonnie Hunt (‘Sally Dibbs’)
Her role as Sally Dibbs, the waitress whose phone number Raymond recites from memory, was her first film part. Her other films include “Only You,” “Beethoven,” and “Jumanji,” and she re-teamed with Cruise for “Jerry Maguire.” She’s also hosted her own daytime talk show, and wrote and directed the 2000 romantic comedy “Return to Me.” She’s become a Pixar regular, voicing characters in “Monsters University” and the “Toy Story” films.
6. Lucinda Jenney (‘Iris’)
Jenny had the small but memorable role of Iris, the “very sparkly” hooker who tries to pick up Raymond in Vegas. She also appeared in “Wired,” “Thelma & Louse,” “Leaving Las Vegas,” “G.I. Jane,” and (with Hoffman again) “Mad City.” She guest starred on “The Shield,” “24,” and in “Battlestar Galactica” as the late wife of Admiral Adama. She received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for the 1992 film “American Heart.”
7. Kim Robillard (‘Small Town Doctor’)
Robillard plays the small-town doctor who Charlie takes Raymond to, the one who first suggests Raymond has savant abilities. He’s continued acting steadily, appearing in “Breakdown,” “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,” and, most recently, as Sal Nutter in the TV series “Hart of Dixie.”
8. Dustin Hoffman (‘Raymond Babbit’)
Hoffman won his second Best Actor, Oscar Award for his performance as the endearing but rule-bound Raymond Babbit, an autistic savant who can memorize phone books and is, of course, “an excellent driver.” One of Hollywood’s favorites since the ’60s, he was Oscar-nominated again for 1997’s “Wag the Dog.” Since then, he’s played Ben Stiller’s dad in “Meet the Fockers,” voiced Master Shifu in “Kung Fu Panda,” and directed his first film, “Quartet.” In 2014, he’ll costar with Jon Favreau in “Chef.”
