Dustin was born in Los Angeles, right at the heart of the movie industry. Before switching careers and becoming a furniture salesman his father has worked as a prop supervisor (set decorator) at Columbia Pictures. So you might think there is some classic (or should I say cliché) story behind his career choice: the boy visits his father at work, falls in love with movies and decides to dedicate his whole life for motion pictures. However, it was not quite like that. Dustin is quote saying: „I got into acting so that I could meet girls. Pretty girls came later. First, I wanted to start off with someone with two legs, who’d smile at me and look soft.“ This may not sound very sophisticated, but you have to give the man a credit for being honest and straightforward. Now when you know why did he decide to become an actor, let‘s take a closer look at his professional career
