After the success of Dances with Wolves, agents were looking for Native American talent and signed on Hoffmann.

His first significant role in a big budget feature film was The Dreamer in Geronimo: An American Legend. Next, he co-starred in the romantic film Cheyenne Warrior as Hawk, a Cheyenne warrior, who is nursed back to health by a pregnant, widowed Rebecca Carver (played by Kelly Preston). In 2006, Hoffmann portrayed the character Lee Means in The Last Winter, playing opposite Ron Perlman.[citation needed]

Hoffmann has been specifically chosen for several roles throughout his acting career to include his role of Lee in

Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation of Connecticut,[2] and contains one of the sexiest Native American love scenes between Hoffmann and Red-Horse.[3]

Hoffmann is bilingual in Spanish and English, and conversational in Portuguese. He has performed roles in those languages as well as
