'' described Hackman, Hoffman, and Robert Duvall as struggling California-born actors and close friends, sharing NYC apartments in various two-person combinations in the 1960s. To support himself between acting jobs, Hackman was working at a Howard Johnson's restaurant when he encountered an instructor from the Pasadena Playhouse, who said that his job proved that Hackman "wouldn't amount to anything". A Marine officer who saw him as a doorman said "Hackman, you're a sorry son of a bitch". Rejection motivated Hackman, who said, Hackman got various bit roles, for example on the TV series '' Route 66'' in 1963, and began performing in several Off-Broadway plays. In 1964 he had an offer to co-star in the play ''Any Wednesday'' with actress Sandy Dennis. This opened the door to film work. His first role was in '' Lilith'', with Jean Seberg and Warren Beatty in the leading roles. In 1966 he played a small part as Dr. John Whipple in the epic film ''Hawaii.'' In 1967 he appeared in an episode of the television series '' The Invaders'' entitled " The Spores". Another supporting role,
