Emmy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner John Goodman voices the character of Larry, a down-to-earth, hard-working lion who somehow fell into show business in the "Siegfried & Roy" magic show in NBC’s new animated series "Father of the Pride." One of the entertainment industry’s most respected actors, Goodman earned a Golden Globe nomination in 1992 for his chilling performance in the Coen Brothers’ heralded "Barton Fink." Coincidentally, his breakthrough motion picture performance was in "Raising Arizona," also a Coen Brothers film. Goodman has since teamed with the Coens in "The Big Lebowski" and "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" He will also be seen in the upcoming feature due out this year "Beyond the Sea," a biographical project directed by Kevin Spacey. Goodman has given his voice to numerous other animated characters as well. His voice-over credits include Disney’s "Monsters, Inc.," "The Emperor’s New Groove" and "The Jungle Book II." <<Back to Actor Biographies
