John Goodman is easily (easily!) the most underrated actor alive. He's Philip Seymour Hoffman level talent yet continually relegated to supporting and obscure roles. That's what being fat in Hollywood will do to you.

I have a theory that some people don't like working with him because they know he's that much better than they are. He effortlessly brings a level of intensity, mixed with intimidation, mystery, and charisma, that other actors can't.

Goodman and Gyllenhaal and Michael Shannon should do a film together. Or maybe that's too much power for one movie.
