From ‘The Big Lebowski’ to ‘Smurfs,’ John Goodman Reflects Candidly on His Life in Comedy


The legendary actor, now celebrating 50 years in the business, opens up about his fraught relationship with Roseanne, bombing his 'SNL' audition and Spielberg announcing his role in 'Flintstones' without asking him first.

The 73-year-old star recently wrapped up his roles on both ABC’s The Conners and HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones, and now finds himself without a new project on the horizon for the first time in years. The actor, known for his booming voice and being a go-to for filmmakers like the Coen brothers, also finds himself far away from Hollywood, living in Charleston, South Carolina, after losing his Palisades home in the wildfires in January. The actor has quite the legacy of voice work, notably bringing to life the lovably frightening Sulley in Pixar’s Monsters Inc. franchise.
