Nate Scarborough

Nate Scarborough 1974
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.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Longest Yard (1974)

Actor:
Michael Conrad

Role Portrayed:
Coach of the Mean Machine

Why you should vote for him:
It was equal parts tough and equal parts cool.

Why you should not vote for him:
Many thought that Reynolds did the role better in the remake.
