Hoffman not returning for Little Fockers

Dustin Hoffman will reportedly not reprise his 'Meet The Parents' role in sequel Little Fockers.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the actor, who portrayed the father of Ben Stiller's Greg Focker in the 2004 film, will not be returning after talks with Universal allegedly collapsed over scheduling issues.

Hoffman's character Bernie reportedly makes a cameo appearance in John Hamburg's Little Fockers script.
