Jimmy "Dodge" Connelly

George Clooney does not have a lot of missteps and even when he does, he always seems to get a pass. Actually, we are not even sure that “Leatherheads” was even that much of a misstep, even though the film was not popular, and only received mixed reviews; Clooney was as charming as always and physically looked the part of a 1920’s Football player. The only problem that as much as we love the sport in North America; we were not clamoring for a Football movie set after World War I.


Jimmy Dix

Another candidate we almost forgot, Jimmy Dix (Damon Wayans) was the disgraced Quarterback kicked out of the league for gambling reasons. Although we never saw Dix on the field (and is there a worse name for a Fictitious Athlete than this?), his relationship to his old team plays a key plot point to what we thought was a forgotten Action gem. A Quarterback who goes toe to toe with Bruce Willis during his action apex? Now we are wondering how we forgot about this at all.


Jack Dundee

Jack Dundee
Robin Williams may be one of those comedians that younger people can’t understand why he was popular, but let us assure you, in the 1980’s, he was considered one of the top comedians in the world. In regards of his 80’s cinematic career, he had some hits, some bombs, and a few perplexing choices. “The Best of Times” has become a forgotten film in the Williams filmography, and in a way, that isn’t so bad.


The film was average, but as much as we loved Williams in the 80’s (and despise him now), the idea of Mork from Ork as a high school athlete in any capacity is ludicrous, especially as a Wide Receiver who had the chance to win the game. There is no way that this guy would be let on any football gridiron, and the fact that he played the role of Jack Dundee as meek as possible cemented that fact. Sorry, Mrs. Doubtfire, as much as we love you, this is a role that just seems to be miscast.

Jack "Cap" Rooney

Cap Rooney
Dennis Quaid in an action or athletic film always seems to work. It may never blow you away, but it just seems natural. Perhaps it is why that we feel he gets overlooked a little too much in “Any Given Sunday”, but maybe that was the point. As “Cap” Rooney, Quaid is struggling to keep his starting Quarterback job, against the younger and flashier, “Steamin” Willie Beamen (Jamie Foxx). Rooney is not just fighting for his job, but he his fighting for his will to keep playing a sport that is punishing him physically. Of course, after seeing his barracuda of a wife (Lauren Holly) we may have understood what he was most afraid of!
Lauren Holly

Still, Quaid showed more depth in this role than he got credit for (and more than he usually does), and we suspect that he may be put on the backburner for our Hall in place of…..”Steamin” Willie Beamen.
