FIGHT ME.

If the Walter from the Big Lebowski isn't number one, WatchMojo is going to be in a world of pain.

[StrifeLeeSimpson]

He is SO underrated. He is one of the greatest actors alive.

John Goodman is such a terrific actor. And he really brings life to the characters and roles he plays. So much so, that if any of them were done with another actor instead of Goodman, both the character and show/movie would hurt from it. Maybe not become terrible/unwatchable per-say, but would still be of less quality.

Dan Conner is still my favorite role of John Goodman's. He made Dan my favorite character of _Roseanne_ and if he hadn't been chosen for the role, I seriously doubt I would (have) like(d) the show nearly as much as I do.

And say what you will about _The Flintstones_ Live-Action movie (I loved it as a kid, and still enjoy it now as an adult), John Goodman was *perfect* as Fred Flintstone! They may have screwed up *fiercely* with casting Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble, but they nailed it with John Goodman as Fred Flintstone! Pretty much "Hit-N-Miss" with the casting: John Goodman-Fred Flintstone (Hit). Rosie O'Donnell-Betty Rubble (Miss). :P

Goodman: Fatherly tone that just makes you feel at home

Freeman: Grandpa you’d listen to war stories from and wise advice.

No Fred Flintstone? It deserves a mention! Say what you want about the movie. It would not have been made without his FLAWLESS casting!

[shubhamgoel]

He is a great and talented actor. His Coen Brothers movies The Big Lebowski, Raising Arizona and Barton Flink are 😘😘😘

[nuttyspasmaloid]

Damn, this voice actor did a really good job. No overexaggeration, just plain good stuff

[NeoGriim]

He's one of, if not my number 1, favorite actors.

[zachjohnson]

Legendary is the only word to describe this man

“OVER THE LINE!!!”

“Smokey this is not ‘Nam, this is bowling. There are rules”

I've always loved John Goodman. He's such an awesome actor with how he can pull off lovable roles, and menacing roles. His voice work is also great too. While I enjoy his roles as Pacha and Sully, I also appreciate his lesser known roles like Rex in We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story, and Santa Claus in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer: The Movie. Not a big fan of the latter, but his role as Santa is one of the few things I like about it. It's a shame he hasn't won, or even been nominated for, an Oscar yet. The man deserves one!

[ncshpfox]

Fallen, The Babe, Monuments Men, The Flintstones. He is probably one of Hollywood’s most underrated actors.

[martok]

I also liked Goodman in King Ralph.
John Goodman has a great range of character roles....and can certainly play a terrifying figure when the role calls for it.

[Udgrasil]

One of my favorite actors ever. So underrated.

[dafilmqueen]

I honestly love John Goodman as Sully, Pacha, and Fred Flintstone!Sully is such a strong character that it's hard to deny his ability to sound like your ideal father, and in some case, even your ideal grandpa!

[YYCSailorMercury]

His performance in Flight was just incredible. It's just such a shame he was passed over for an Oscar Nomination.

[majinmexican]

Smokey, this isn't Nam this is bowling there are rules.
