Shawn Van Horn has been a Senior Features Writer for Collider since 2022 with a focus on horror, and 90s TV and movies.
The Big Picture Every film follows a script, with actors rehearsing their lines over and over before filming even begins. Things don't always go according to plan, though. Sometimes an actor will be "in the moment" becoming the character when a line will come to them, and they'll spit it out. Comedians do this a lot, but you can find ad-libs in any genre.
What Is 'Midnight Cowboy' About? Midnight Cowboy was one of the most celebrated movies of the '60s. Set in New York City, it's the story of a friendship that forms between a male prostitute named Joe Buck and a con man named Rico "Ratso" Rizzo. It became the first and only X-rated film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, with Waldo Salt picking up an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, and John Schlesinger winning for Best Director.
Dustin Hoffman Says He Improvised 'Midnight Cowboy's Famous Line The claim has been for decades that Hoffman made up the famous line on the spot, as the taxi driver was not part of the movie, but was instead just a real life New York City taxi driver who was so impatient with filming that he flew through the set, almost hitting Hoffman and Voight. It's a story Hoffman sticks by.
