1967: Uncredited bit part - with a line - in The Graduate (1967). (After Elaine screams while visiting Ben in his apartment at Berkeley).

Attributes much of his ability to end drug addiction to a life-altering vision experienced in hospital after a bad car crash. Under the influence of drugs while driving, Dreyfuss knew the crash was his fault.
