2023 Fictitious Contributor Round 1

Nate Scarborough

Contest: 2023 Fictitious Contributor Round 1
TV Show/Movie Appeared: The Longest Yard (1974)
Actor/Actress: Michael Conrad
Why you should vote:: It was equal parts tough and equal parts cool.
Why you should not vote:: Many thought that Reynolds did the role better in the remake.
Like every Longest Yard character which was duplicated, it is impossible to avoid looking at both versions. In this case we like both Nate Scarboroughs, though there is something colossally cool about Michael Conrad and old school toughness he brought to the role. However, in his case, Conrad had the misfortune of having his character covered by one of the film originals (Burt Reynolds who played the QB in the original) take on the Scarborough role and perhaps stealing both films. This is why we have a ballot, as we are very curious to see which Nate Scarborough gets better traction.
