Although it was a little difficult to believe that the closest friend of the backup Quarterback was the Head Trainer of the team, we did enjoy the sweet role of Max Corkle (Jack Warden) as the only mortal aware of the true identity of Warren Beatty’s character. Jack Warden was at his nicest and was perfect as the everyman who helped out the new maverick owner of the Los Angeles Rams become its starting Quarterback. Sure, the believability scale has to be morphed, but someone had to be that liaison between the afterlife and present, and why not Jack Warden? The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: Heaven Can Wait (1978) Actor: Jack Warden Role Portrayed: Trainer of the Los Angeles Rams Why you should vote for him: His role was actually necessary to keep the tone of the picture afloat. Why you should not vote for him: He missed the Super Bowl, and nobody on his team seemed to notice. {youtube}

As much as Tony Curtis had a career that may have rivaled Walter Matheau, the drop off from Morris Buttermaker to Marvin Lazar was like the drop off in talent from Kelly Leak to one of those short Mexican kids. As a slimy opportunistic agent, Curtis used the Bad News Bears for his own gain, and other than a scene against Japanese wrestling legend Antonio Inoki, it was not exactly a role worth remembering, The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: The Bad News Bears go to Japan (1978) Actor: Tony Curtis Role Portrayed: Manager/Agent of the Bad News Bears Why you should vote for him: Tony Curtis is a legitimate Hollywood legend. Why you should not vote for him: But not because of this movie. {youtube}

Dirk Benedict has been a guilty pleasure of ours no matter what he did. We loved him as Starbuck in the original Battlestar Galactica, as “Face” in the A-Team and yes as….the slimy M. Harry Smilac in the Wrestling film, Body Slam. It may not be a great film, but it was fun and we have no problem nominating someone who has no real shot for our Fictitious Hall…just to placate our 80’s cult hero. The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: Body Slam (1986) Actor: Dirk Benedict Role Portrayed: Professional Wrestling Manager Why you should vote for him: We will play the Battlestar card here. Why you should not vote for him: This was not a great film overall, and how much should a cult guilty pleasure have real merit for our Hall anyway? {youtube}

At what point can a man as stupid as Luther Van Dam become the Defensive Coordinator of a Division I College Football Program? Jerry Van Dyke’s portrayal of Van Dam shows us a man with the intelligence of a coffee table who can somehow manages to understand the complexity of a 4-3 Defence. Actually, at no point do we recall a scene that shows what has to be the skills of a football savant, or even someone who could figure out a remote control. The Bullet Points: TV Show Appeared: Coach (1989-97) Actor: Jerry Van Dyke Role Portrayed: Defensive Coordinator for Minnesota State Why you should vote for him: How about because he is Dick’s brother? Why you should not vote for him: This is one of the dumbest (literally) sports characters in history. {youtube}
