Hogan's breakout role was that of Mick "Crocodile" Dundee in the 1986 film "Crocodile Dundee". Hogan also co-wrote the movie, which was a massive critical and commercial success in many countries. He won the 1987 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and was also nominated for Best Actor at the BAFTAs. The screenplay was nominated for an Academy Award, a BAFTA and a Saturn Award. Along with Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn, Hogan co-hosted the 59th Academy Awards, also in 1987. Hogan again portrayed Mick Dundee in the sequel "Crocodile Dundee II", released in 1988. Hogan was also executive producer and co-writer with his son, Brett. Although less popular with critics than the first "Crocodile Dundee", it was also a commercial success. The character made him popular in the United States, with phrases like, "That's not a knife..."that's" a knife!" entering the lexicon, though Hogan was troubled that the character was perceived as a cross between Chuck Norris and John Rambo, and turned down roles similar to those due to their violent nature, commenting:
