Goodman, John

▪ American actor
in full  John Stephen Goodman 
born June 20, 1952, Affton, Mo., U.S.

      American actor who is perhaps best known for his long-running role as Dan Conner in the television series Roseanne (1988–97). His imposing physical stature often garnered him movie roles playing over-the-top, larger-than-life figures.

      Goodman attended Southwest Missouri State University on a football scholarship. An injury, however, ended his chances of a football career, and he began studying drama. After graduating in 1975, he moved to New York City to pursue acting jobs. He took roles in tiny dinner theatres and in television commercials before being cast in the Broadway production of Loose Ends in 1979. A few years later he again performed on Broadway in Big River (1985) as Huck Finn's father, the role for which he first received critical attention. Goodman began to regularly appear in films in the early 1980s, and in 1987 he played an escaped convict in the Coen brothers' quirky comedy Raising Arizona. His breakthrough, however, came when he was cast as the all-American, blue-collar family man in the hit comedy television series Roseanne. His performances in this role earned him seven Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe Award (1993).

      During his successful stint on Roseanne, Goodman's movie career also began to take off. He played the husband of a comedian in Punchline (1988) and a pilot who fights forest fires opposite Richard Dreyfuss (Dreyfuss, Richard) in Always (1989). In the 1990s Goodman appeared in more than 20 movies, including The Babe (1992), in which he starred as baseball legend Babe Ruth, and The Flintstones (1994), a remake of the classic cartoon. He also reteamed with the Coen brothers for Barton Fink (1991); The Big Lebowski (1998), in which he portrayed a Vietnam War veteran still reliving the past; and O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), starring opposite George Clooney (Clooney, George) as a crooked Bible salesman in 1930s Mississippi. Goodman played a father who was nervous about his daughter's move to New York City in Coyote Ugly (2000) and a detective in One Night at McCool's (2001). His easily recognizable voice could also be heard in numerous animated films, among them The Emperor's New Groove (2000), Monsters, Inc. (2001), The Jungle Book 2 (2003), and Bee Movie (2007).
