Coach Johnson
Likely anyone who played competitive sports on any level has had a coach like Coach Johnson (Charles Durning) in North Dallas Forty. You know the type; the one you mock openly (yet doesn’t pick up on it), brags about accomplishments that were not that impressive, and learned everything from a handbook. Durning nailed it perfectly, and we know we are not the only ones who had memories brought up by watching his portrayal of the North Dallas Assistant Coach.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
North Dallas Forty (1979)
Actor:
Charles Durning
Role Portrayed:
Assistant Coach of the North Dallas Bulls
Why you should vote for him:
He was half authority/half buffonery. That isn’t easy to pull off.
Why you should not vote for him:
The role was not large.
