An American did coach the Jamaican Bobsled Team in 1988, but he didn’t win the Gold in 68 nor was he disqualified in 72. The real coach was also not disgraced and became as obese as….let’s say…John Candy.

The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: Cool Runnings (1993)
Actor: John Candy
Role Portrayed: Coach of the Jamaican Bobsled Team
Why you should vote for him: It is a way to honor Candy.
