John Goodman has had an exceptional career. First making an impression as Roseanne Barr’s good-hearted, blue collar husband on ROSEANNE, Goodman was able to build on his small screen fame and establish one hell of a body of work as a character actor. Whether on the big screen or small, Goodman’s one of those guys that you always know is going to deliver regardless of how big the part is, and whether you want him to play it broad or straight. He can do it all.
Goodman’s big-screen career arguably kicked into high gear around one year into his run on ROSEANNE, with key supporting parts in Steven Spielberg's ALWAYS and the Al Pacino vehicle, SEA OF LOVE. Typically playing a big tough guy with a heart of gold, Goodman’s career kicked into the stratosphere sometime around the mid-nineties, with him even getting a large degree of stardom as a leading man in films like THE BABE and THE FLINTSTONES.
While playing Fred Flintstone’s probably not one that they’re going to put on Goodman’s career-best highlight reel, nevertheless it gave him some box office clout, but he soon returned to playing character parts and as such has endured more than many of his contemporaries. He seems to have a nose for quality parts and all the best people, from George Clooney to Joel and Ethan Coen, are keen to work with him. Even in a mediocre movie like THE GAMBLER (review coming soon) Goodman elevates the material and makes it worth watching just to enjoy his performance. Truly, the man is a pro.
