John Goodman Breaks Down His Career, From 'The Big Lebowski' to 'Monsters, Inc.' | Vanity Fair - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I wish they had mentioned “10 Cloverfield Lane.” It’s one of my favorites, and he gives a stunning performance!
Agreed!
He should been nominated for that one. But it's a non popular science fiction movie, so fine
That is a good one. My family member worked on the production. Goodman stayed in character the entire time.
This is what I came here for
The reason why I fell in love with John Goodman is because of 10 Cloverfield Lane.
His character Howard Stambler is just amazing, and that's when I saw John Goodman :D
I realize he didn't have time to mention all of his roles, but I have to mention his smaller supporting role as Big Dan Teague in "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" Just another outrageous character in another outlandish Coen Brothers movie, but tailor-made for John. He rocked it!
He was also outstanding in “Red State”.
Maybe, but that wasn't really a different dimension of John Goodman, and as you said, it was a smaller supporting role, and not as memorable as say Jesus Quintana in the Big Lebowski.
Cyclops.
One of my favorite roles for him is in The Jack Bull.
Such an underrated movie, and he was stellar in it.
Yeah he made a really kickass Cyclops didn't he
I can't tell you how many times I say "This is not 'Nam, This is bowling there are rules." John Goodman has always been and will continue to be one of my favorite actors ever. Also, kudos to him for losing all that weight.
I can't tell you how many times I say "OVER THE LINE!!!"
Yeah, well like that's just your opinion man. (Somebody had to say it.)
Donny! YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT!
John Goodman is a national treasure. Anything he's involved in is made better by his presence.
#truth
He's lost a lot of weight too
I was just about to type that! 🤣💞
He really is!!!
Except Evan Almighty.
Definitely. One of my favorites since I was child.
John Goodman is one of the most underrated, greatest actors of our time. He deserves MUCH more recognition!
He's got enough
Completely agree
Underrated? What?
Just cuz you just heard of him doesn't make him underrated
Quick mention of The Emperor's New Groove, where he voiced Pacha, which is a very beloved character, and Speed Racer, where he managed to deliver the memeworthy 'Ninja? More like non-jas.' to absolute perfection
Also Revenge of the Nerd’s
I fuckin love that line
I love listening to this guy talk. He has one of the most distinctive voices and way of speaking. When you hear him, you know it's him even if you don't actually see him.
He has a genuine St. Louis accent.
Same with mark hammil
He should of been a big time movie actor. But I guess doing TV is easier.
He’s so humble and so passionate about what he does. What an absolute legend, he’s been a part of my life since I was born, I hope he sticks around a while longer.
He’s the definition of an “Actor’s Actor”
Repent to Jesus Christ
“I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.””
Jeremiah 31:25 NIV
@@repentoryouwilllikewiseper8741 i’ll perish regardless. i’m not gonna waste my life worshipping a fairy tale. you’re supposed to grow out of those by age 10. if you need a ‘rule book’ and the fear of damnation to be a ‘good person,’ then guess what? you’re not one.
maybe because he is a good man
This man is the definition of a class act. You never hear anything bad or drama related about him, and he still comes across as humble and kind despite the decades long success he earned.
I agree spends more time chatting up voworkers a true gentleman love him reminds me of john candy robust sincere total package
@@scottelmer7949 nonsense, he’s a back stabbing traitor, just like the rest of the cast of the Conners. Slimy, fake, hypocrites.
@@scottelmer7949 how dare you compare him to Candy, what an insult to him. He’s not even a smidgen, of John Candy’s talent and class.
Not a class act in real life.
@@rulerofomicronpersei8You are dead wrong. Both men are complimented by the comparison to each other.
John Goodman was born to voice Sully in Monsters, Inc. Nobody could have embodied Sully’s gentle giant personality better. Also, I’d like to take a moment to say RIP to Jacques Frantz, John Goodman’s French voice, who passed away last year at 73 years old. His raspy, yet soothing voice fit John Goodman’s characters perfectly.
Watch him in 10 Cloverfield Lane. He’s so fantastic
Yes, why wasn't that one mentioned? Phenomenal performance!
He was amazing!
Watching him in Roseanne as a child he was the father figure I needed
Great your mom is screwed. 😂
He was a child in Roseanne?
@@robertg.durant8489 uhhh no? I'm saying when I watch him in Roseanne when I was a child.
I felt that way about the simpsons family
The way he talks about her is so nice, shame how Hollywood’s turned on her for something blown out of proportions
He's the most huggable actor ever
Fluffy Sullivan
Absolutely. A big part of why he was perfect as Pacha in New Groove. Just so wholesome.
Hagrid
I hope you’re a girl!!
An absolute legend. Been watching him here in Ireland since the earliest Roseanne days, anytime I see JG is in a show or a movie, I know we're in good shape
Boring actor though
@@cryptosammy not
@@lexkanyima2195 🥱
Hello fellow Irishman
“Son, this is what happens when you F a stranger in the A_ _ 😂
Where’s Fred Flintstone???? John was PERFECT for that!! The movie would have not gotten made without him!!!
They skipped over that during the animation for a reason
@@betz999
Oh shi- it's Captain Obvious! What's up!
@@KingXOreo ok
@@betz999 Booo
I always like King Ralph too
Was blown away the first time I saw him sing on Roseanne. As much as it hurt when John Belushi died, I still loved John Goodman in Blues Brothers 2000.
My favorite thing John Goodman did was playing the cyclops, "Big Dan T" in "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
John Goodman is a national treasure.
I’m so happy I get to see him in TWO shows currently on. The Conners and the hilarious The Righteous Gemstones❤️❤️
The Righteous Gemstones is excellent
@@ghazghkullthraka9714 yes it is👍🏻🙏
@Michael Alvarado you have no idea what was going on behind the scenes and she was not known to be the most mentally stable person. Maybe she acted horribly to HIM or the cast or crew.
@Michael Alvarado no one threw Roseanne under a bus dumbass
What's not to love about John Goodman? I don't know why, but his character in "Always" hits a chord with me every time. I wish to have a best friend like that in my life and John played that character with such empathy. I love it.
Great movie, saw it when I was a kid. One of my mom's favourites. Remember his character vividly.
I think less of him than I used to for turning his back on Roseanne. I love John but he wouldn't be famous if not for Roseanne giving him the part of Dan Connor.
@@Nepthu I disagree. He would have been discovered regardless. Roseanne's actions and words led to her being ostracized.
This will be good, the video could easily be longer than an hour, he was so good in 10 Cloverfield Lane.
John has to be one of the most underrated actors of all time.
You know people say this all the time right? He's really not that good
@@ronbuil6923 you are entitled to your wrong opinion
He's super funny and serious at the same time.
Honestly John Goodman as Dan Conner is my favorite. Best realistic sitcom dad ever.
John Goodman instantly improves anything he's in. He's one of the few actors who can make the difference between my watching something and not watching it.
“Always” is a beautiful movie with John Goodman, Holly Hunter, and Richard Dreyfuss. I recommend it. It’s a little known Spielberg film, and Audrey Hepburn’s last film.
I was surprised the movie wasn't part of the break down since apparenly he's been within Spielberg's inner circle for some time.
That is a fantastic film!!
Not one of Spielberg's better movies, but Goodman was fantastic in it! Shame they didn't ask him about his experience with the film.
Same with Bringing out the Dead, the only film he made with Scorsese. Nobody remembers that one.
I loved that one too - it's a bit underrated, as it got overshadowed by Ghost.
John Goodman: calmer than you are.
and he's going to enjoy his coffee
I truly admire how appreciative and excited he is about the people he works with
Every time he smiles, I have to smile back at him. Such a lovable guy.
Just a sidenote he was the coach in the movie Revenge of the Nerds. I thought that was his debut film. I loved him in Roseanne and in Monsters Inc. He has an amazing career that he should definitely be proud of.
"YOU LET YOURSELF GET BEAT BY A BUNCH OF GD NERDS! NERDS!!!" Maybe his best role
@@sidv192 we forgot to practice
Really, no mention of ‘True Stories’ or ‘Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?’ Two pivotal movies in my college years… My mind was blown by his talent way before Lebowski… such a humble interviewee…
Nobody EVER mentions True Stories. 😭
He got on my radar in a movie called Stella. What a great performance!
I love this guy. Watching this only made me love him more. He’s so gentle, smart, and generous in this interview. Really comes off like someone you’d want to know. Obviously also a master of his craft.
John Goodman livens up every movie he stars in.
His little-received role as Creighton Bernette in the HBO show, “Treme,” is absolutely a highlight of his career.
He still lives in New Orleans I believe.
Going into this video, I thought to myself, John Goodman has to be a really nice and lovable guy
.....
I was not wrong
John Goodman is literally one of my all-time favorite actors. He’s one of those actors who even in the smallest role in the shittiest film ever, he still gives his 110% and shines through. He never half-asses any performance!
Love John Goodman. He deserves a rock solid leading role, and soon!
Can we get an extended cut of this? I'd love to hear him talk about King Ralph and the Flintstones
I agree, but he hated making The Flintstones, so I doubt he wants to talk about it much.
@@Dartanyoogles What a mess of a film!! I couldn't get through it. It was horrendous!!! Not his fault. Wasn't a good idea to recreate. It was so hard to watch. Peace
No mention of "The Big Easy"?...I met John a few times back in 2006/2007, I was managing the Blockbuster on Metairie Rd. just outside New Orleans in Metairie...real swanky area...at this point Blockbuster was basically bust and very few people ever came in the store...so imagine my shock when 10 minutes before closing on a Friday night Mr. Goodman walks in...drunk as a skunk, no less...well, I'm no stranger to fuckery either so I did the only thing that made sense to me....start shouting Barton Fink quotes at him, then proceed to ask him whey he let Dennis Quaid talk like that in The Big Easy...I must have disarmed him somewhat cause we actually talked for a few minutes and asked me what he should rent...I recommended "Hard Candy" with Ellen Page...Sunday afternoon he dropped the movie back off and told me he loved it and for the next couple weekends he would come in right before we closed and chat with me and rent some movies...I quit my job shortly after but that will always stick with me
Him playing House speaker and President Walken in "The West Wing" is also quite something. How he enters that show, and how his screen presence just overflows everyone else, even the established cast at this point. The man is born to be an actor, and the Coen brothers saw this and understood this a long long time ago. Goodman is impossible to forget, no matter what he plays. One of the best character actors of all time, but most importantly, you know what you get when you see him, every single time.
Amen. Hes do good in TWW!
John Goodman is a cultural icon and a national treasure.
I wish they had mentioned The Blues Brothers 2000, would be really interesting to hear him talk about the singing process and meeting those music legends
He's truly had a fascinating career, and still going strong with a great performance in The Righteous Gemstones!
One of Goodman's earliest and still greatest film roles was as Lewis Fyne in True Stories. He played that role so real that I immediately became a fan.
He looks so healthy now. Good for him
Yeah! I'm very happy that he managed to reach his healthcare goals; may he leave long, he's such an amazing performer!
He’s actually lost 200 pounds to be exact
Not healthy enough for me though because I want him to live forever 😭
@@PatrickDoran2319 Was he sick?
@@helenpauls1496 Oh no he doesn’t have cancer or anything like that
I wish he had talked about Matinee. Such a good movie, and his William Castle-esque character is so much fun.
He was great in Tremé too. Character has stuck with me all these years...
He seems so humble, willing to learn, and like he really loves what he does.
King Ralph is one of my top favorite John Goodman movie. I watch it one time every year.
Been a huge fan of John since I first saw him on Roseanne back in 1988. Such a warm, charismatic and lovable guy. Also, an AMAZING actor with incredible range!
Man he's done so many iconic roles and a lot of his best are smaller ones that aren't on the list. Some personal favorites are 10 Cloverfield Lane, Coyote Ugly, Kong Skull Island.
the fact that this man didn't win an Oscar for big lebowski devalues the whole ceremony
They can't even get people to watch that crap anymore. They got what they deserved.
John Goodman is one of the best out there. Love his movies.
No King Ralph mention? Loved that film. Genuinely though, I've never not loved a Goodman performance. He always finds the perfect performance for each and every role and also works perfectly with his cast mates. One of my favourite ever actors. Oh, would have loved to have heard him discuss being in "True Stories" also. Another flawless Goodman performance.
I'm so happy you captured this piece of film history. As a person growing up in the 90s. He has much of an impact as a Midwesterner
We need the extended version. His whole discography. This wasn't enough!! He's brilliant!
I always wished this dude could've been my dad. It's just something about his spirit that I've loved his entire career
One of the most heart warming persons on television. Always admired him so much ever since I was young, he left such a loving impression on me, and it stuck! Love you John!
Love that this gets released the same day as the Oscar nominations, because it can remind us all how crazy it is that JG has not yet won an Academy Award, despite being the best thing in everything he’s in forever.
He was snubbed for Oscar nod
Academy is filled with a bunch of God-Dam NERDS! NERDS!!! They just cant forgive / forget
I always hope he gets one of those lifetime achievement ones.
NBC hadda short run with the animated series " Father of the Pride" where John was the father of a lion family kept in a zoo. I love John in most everything he's done
Walter is his best character. So funny and an amazing actor.
If Mr. Goodman ever reads this, I just want to say you are one of my favorite actors. You humor, your presence, and your humble attitude makes you so endearing and wonderful to watch. King Ralph is one of my favorite movies of all times. Your speech at the end, when Ralph abdicates the throne, is so touching it actually makes me tear up. God bless.
We all love him!! He is extraordinary actor and human being!!!
Such a wonderfully humble dude.
REALLY wish he would've talked about 10 Cloverfield Lane though!
Such a gentle soul this man is. This is one of the best VF's in awhile. The way his face lit up about the Big Labowski was great.
So many amazing roles. My personal favorite was when he played vice-dean on the show Community.
I love John Goodman. The first thing I remember him in was Revenge of the Nerds but he didn't mention it 😔
Probably the most underrated and most prolific actors ever. He is great in everything he does. He makes a bad movie good.
John Goodman was the main reason I watched Roseanne. He always reminded me of my uncles. Working men, big, funny, and tough. Always enjoyed him in anything I've seen him in.
Quite the career when your retrospective doesn’t even touch on several projects that left an impression on millions of fans - Flintstones, Cloverfield, We’re Back, The Babe, King Ralph, etc.
He can do it all. He has a rare talent being so lovable and funny, and then turn into a really menace that destroys.
Fallen is still one of my favorites he was in, even if he didn't get the biggest role. So good.
He narrated “when dinosaurs roamed America” & that was my introduction to him & as somebody who loved dinosaurs as a child it really sticks out to me
"Sea of love" alongside pacino hasn't had a mention, he was a great foil to Al ,An altogether underrated movie,can't think why.
My favorite John Goodman films
1. The Flinstones
2. The Big Lewbowski
3.. Arachnophobia
Really loved him in Bringing out the Dead. One of his (and Scorsese's) most underrated films.
SO Underrated
The Big Lebowski is in a lot of peoples top 5 (or 3) greatest films of all time and John is a big part of that. I wish we had captured more films and TV with 90s John Goodman. That was something special.
It's easy to not be let down by your heroes when you, yourself, are also a hero. People can see those qualities pretty quickly. Impossible not to like Mr. Goodman 😊
Every time I see your notification, my happy time begins and I am really exited to watch it.
John Goodman is an absolute legend.
Two of Goodman’s best performances are Death Sentence and 10 Cloverfield Lane.
1st, Mr. Goodman, you are an icon. Your acting is impeccable. Thank you for your journey. I think my favorite thing about you is your intensity (like in "The Gambler"). You look great btw (not trolling you)!!!
💯💯💯🙌🙌. He’s a treasure
@Quty Selah a🤦♂️ this is not how you honor Mr. Goofman's legacy!
His smile at 1:13 is so freaking pure it's totally contagious
"My scrabble buddy" Little things that remind you these guys are humans just like the rest of us...
Can't believe they didn't mention the David Byrne flick, "true stories." Literally some of Goodman's most comedic moments on screen and i believe that was actually right before "raising arizona" so had it not been for that role in that film he may have never had a career in show biz...this is a fact
Right? That’s what I was hoping to see in this video
I liked monsters Inc and this guy has an epic voice, should read books for us
Sulley in Monsters, Inc. is my favorite role of his.
John Goodman's the kind of guy you always want to root for - he, or his character choices, always feel like a version of yourself, or your relatives, or - if you've become 'refined' - one of your friends coming up that you'll never let go. Interesting that he gives relatively short shrift to Roseanne - which surely accounts for the bulk of his fortune. It may have been formulaic, but he was given some opportunities to get past the sitcom constraints. The Connors? Well, less said the better IMOP.
First saw John in Revenge Of The Nerds. Then in True Stories and Raising Arizona. Then came Roseanne, Punchline and Sea of Love. And of course Always, King Ralph and Arachnophobia. Another favorite was Barton Fink.
How are you not going to include O brother where art thou, cloverfield lane, and the gambler?? Some of his best works
they missed a few iconic roles, he was in The Flintstones too
I absolutely LOVE him in The Big Lebowski 👌
This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps!
I just love that John Goodman can play lead and supporting characters at the drop of a hat.
"He should be called John GREATman after this"- Gregg Turkington
Bringing Out The Dead, never mentioned as a gold performance and savagely underrated flick.
I love this mans voice and acting.
That grin at the end. Iconic.
The podcast Ideal Remake fancasted him as John Silver in a live action Treasure Planet and I cannot think of anyone better.
I love John Goodman. Such an infectious laugh.
I loving Righteous Gemstones right now. It’s a great show.
Best show
O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Raising Arizona and Monsters, Inc are my absolute favorites. Haven't seen everything he has been in. I am working on it, but anytime he pops up in a movie, I know I will be riveted. He is in my top 5 character actors. Brilliant!!
He needs to come back and do a part 2
Someone needs to discover the technology to make John Goodman immortal.
John Goodman is a treasure.
I loved him in the movie Flight, with Denzel Washington. I believe they had great chemistry. Great movie.
One of our great treasures for sure. John Goodman is literally the GOAT and so humble. Anything he's in you know is gonna be good.
