Good afternoon friends of the Little Theatre,

It’s that time of the week again- let’s take a closer look at an artist who has made an entire career of  playing nice guys. (Some of them end up chopping people’s heads off, but, they sure are sweet before that.) Rosanne’s better half himself: John Goodman.

Click HERE to check out this swanky Foot Locker commercial Goodman destroys in 1981.

Not sentimental enough for you? Click HERE to see Goodman talk about his experience on Rosanne and see some great clips for the classic show.

To television-centered for you? Click HERE to hear Goodman sing this great Roger Miller songs from the Tony Award-Winning musical Big River. (BONUS- this clip shows you exactly what you shouldn’t do when you put together a YouTube video. It’s fabulously terrible, but the song is great.)

Not a theatre fan? See some of Goodman’s greatest collaborations with the Coen brothers below:
