JOHN GOODMAN

John Goodman was Roseanne's husband, Fred Flintstone, and a monster ,but what you might not know is that he was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. He was born June 20th, 1952. Goodman is 56 right now. In the late 1970's he moved to New York to find work as an actor. By the mid-1980's Goodman was on Broadway. Goodman was in the original cast for the 1985 Big River. He was starting his career by getting parts in movies, T.V. commercails, and T.V. shows. When he played the role of Dan Connor on Roseanne as a husband and father that was how he became famous. John Goodman is mostly famous for comedy. Yet he has played dramatic roles as well, including The Babe as Babe Ruth, Bringing Out the Dead as Nicolas Cage's partner, and as Bobby Darin's friend in Beyond the Sea. Ever since 1989 he has been a host and a guest on Saturday Night Live. John Goodman has been in 102 productions. During his career he's won the Golden Globe and another 7 wins and 18 nominations.

John Goodman makes a good Fred Flintstone. I like him better in comedies. I think they suit him. When he is an animatd character like in The Emperor's New Groove he still shows great success.


John Goodman's father was a postal worker ,but he had a heart attack when John was only 2 years old. His mother was a BBQ joint waitress raising three children on her own. John was very devoted to football. He earned a football scholarship to Southwest Missouri State Univerity. Goodman got injured and that ended his chance of having a professional sports career. This is where John decided to major in drama. Everything went up hill from there.
