In his occupations section, someone added in singer as one of his occupations. Well yes, we know he did do something in some films. But unfortunately he isn’t notable for being a singer, he’s known as just an actor. Any chance if someone can remove? Because he’s only known for being an actor. 2600:1000:B023:F518:50D8:F28D:B9D6:88EE (talk) 03:09, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done I just took that out. Any singing this guy did is nowhere near as prominent as his acting. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 03:34, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fallen

You left out his role in the movie Fallen with Denzel W. 73.15.205.215 (talk) 03:05, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

John goodman died...

John Goodman died. Is this a mandala effect???? 2600:6C60:5000:16EE:E55D:4FF7:1AEF:982E (talk) 02:56, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No he didn't; that's just a hoax. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 04:42, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Add the borrowers to the movies he’s acted in. 206.131.225.245 (talk) 01:54, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. GiovanniSidwell (talk) 18:32, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Add: Sea of Love (1989) to his credits. It was a breakthrough film and he co- starred with Al Pacino. - Not sure why it wasn’t included. 74.71.23.215 (talk) 11:36, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Can you please provide the exact sentence that you want to include? M.Bitton (talk) 18:11, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See John_Goodman_on_screen_and_stage for a more complete list of his works. RudolfRed (talk) 20:48, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: marking answered per above comments. Request unclear and the film is listed on the main article about his roles. GiovanniSidwell (talk) 05:30, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There’s no mention of the movie Fallen (1998) with Denzel Washington. 69.126.22.136 (talk) 05:10, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: See John Goodman on screen and stage and Fallen (1998 film). This is a biographical article, not a filmography, and not every film in which the subject appears will be mentioned here. General Ization ^Talk 05:13, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Filmography?

I've heard mention that it's a "biographical article", but I've yet to see an actor's Wiki article that has no filmography list section. Has to be a rare thing, yes? TicklesYourTaint (talk) 22:27, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what to say about "rare", but this definitely isn't the only actor page without one. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 23:55, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Typo

Change "However, by August 2010, Goodman had lost 100 lb" to "100 lbs". It's at the end of the "personal life" section. 2600:4040:2651:8100:3546:A4C9:21B1:D57E (talk) 21:28, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Thanks for the suggestion. I looked it up – "lb" is actually correct. See e.g. MOS:UNITSYMBOLS: "Unit symbols (in any system) are identical in singular and plural." — Chrisahn (talk) 01:04, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
