Dustin Hoffman
This afternoon, while drinking some coffee, I got to see coincidentally some scenes of the British comedy "Esio Trot" (2014). I actually wanted to go away because I thought "Again such a kitschy, time-robbing stuff!" But then, I realized Dustin Hoffman's very sensitive and witty way of playing this retiree in his shyness and seemingly hopeless love. I couldn't help remaining and watching the comedy until its happy ending.
I must confess I admire this small, great man since I saw him in the outstanding "Death of a salesman". He is one of the world's greatest actors, also in his higher age of 77 when he played this role :-)

You wrote very well! Only the sentence beginning with "But then..." I didn't quite understand.

Thank you very much for your correction. Please, it would be very nice to get a brief explanation in regard to two questions.
Would it be better and more correct to say:
1. But then, after a few minutes of watching, I realized Dustin Hoffman's very sensitive and witty (geistreich) way to play the role of this retiree in his shyness and seemingly hopeless love.
2. I couldn’t help… Why shouldn't I use the gerund here???
Thank you in advance.
