Bugs Bunny

This is one for us seems thirteen shades of impossible. We can’t nominate Michael Jordan; because there really is a Michael Jordan. Same goes for Bill Murray. Technically, there really is a Bugs Bunny in a cartoon universe; but what does that mean for us? This is the grey area we find ourselves in, but we will err in the side of caution.
Bugs Bunny was the leader of the Looney Tunes, and had co-billing with the greatest Basketball player of all time in his only foray into motion pictures. Guess what? This messed up equation worked, and it was a decent film; despite Jordan’s cardboard acting. One unrelated thing; how do you steal the “talent” of Shawn Bradley?
The Bullet Points:

Space Jam (1996)
Actor:
Billy West

The Toon Squad
Why you should vote for him:
This is Bugs Bunny; there are not too many cartoons better than this.
Why you should not vote for him:
It’s a cartoon. How do you vote for a cartoon?

Brian Shute

It was not that Brian Shute was such a villain, and he did not do anything to really provoke the hero. No, he just looked like an unbeatable amateur wrestler who had little to say and knew how to fight. Actually, we liked that he was a little one-dimensional, but does that effect his chances overall? It probably will.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Vision Quest (1985)
Actor:
Matthew Modine
Played for:
Hoover H.S.
Why you should vote for him:
His role was to be a seemingly unbeatable opponent. Mission accomplished.
Why you should not vote for him:
There was never a band named “Brian Shute”. There actually is one named “Louden Swain”.

Bodhi

Here is another curious entry on the ballot. Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) was the leader of a surfer/criminal organization, and the sport of surfing was a vital part of the film. Still, the competitive aspect of the sport was not present in Point Break which may taint the chance of anyone from this film entering the Hall. We will say this though; watching Bodhi surf that final wave into an impending end is one of the better cinematic ends to a character on the ballot.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Point Break (1991)
Actor:
Patrick Swayze
Why you should vote for him:
Did anyone look the part of a surfer more than Swayze?
Why you should not vote for him:
The sport was showcased, but not in competition.
