People are so used to seeing John Goodman as a loveable dad or the quirky characters he played in the Coen Brothers films.

James Wan

Anything that is absurd I see as a Coen brothers' influence! The Coen brothers are my favorite people period.

Josh Brolin

Look at the Coen brothers. All their minor characters are as interesting as their protagonists. If the smaller characters are well-written, the whole world of the film becomes enriched. It's not the size of the thing, but the detail.

Brendan Gleeson

John Goodman's pretty dark - I love John Goodman.

Todd Phillips

I built up a knowledge of 1960s and '70s British films because my dad used to work nights, and I'd sit up with my mum and watch films - 'How I Won the War' and the films of Richard Lester, Karel Reisz and John Schlesinger.

Nick Moran

My mum used to play afrobeats, my dad used to play Caribbean, my sisters and brothers played hip-hop.

J Hus

It's so odd because I don't even know if I'm cut out for it, but being a movie star guy, I sort of end up gravitating toward the Coen brothers. That's one of the reasons my wife and I moved to L.A.: that however much of a pipe dream that would be, I moved to L.A. because I'd love to work with the Coen brothers.

Timothy Simons

'Fargo' definitely makes it into my top three favorite films of all time; I have a serious obsession with the Coen brothers.

Erin Moriarty

I feel like if you see five films not knowing who made them, you know which one is the Coen Brothers.

Hailee Steinfeld

Some of my acting heroes have built careers on playing characters who do horrendous things - they're repellent and lovable. They're not likable, but they're lovable. I think Christine is one of those characters.

Rebecca Hall

I guess I much prefer the path of the contrarian: the guy who goes against the grain a bit. The careers of the people who I admire deeply - like the Coen brothers and Soderbergh - don't repeat themselves, and they make radically different films at times, and I think that's wonderful.

Joe Carnahan

If I bring anything to the Coen Brothers' films, it's my ability to change tack and create a different mood from film to film.

Roger Deakins

As soon as I finished film school I was thinking about, how do I get to feature films? It took about eight years, and I'm still working. Feature films was not the end goal. Feature films was one of the stages. Getting to the point of the Coen brothers or Tarantino, where you're writing your own material and have the budget to do it properly, that's the end goal, and I'm close to that.

Duncan Jones

My dad played football - and tennis as well - and so did my brothers. My dad was chairman of our local club, Spartans, for a while. But back when I was a boy, people didn't think of football as a career.

Nwankwo Kanu

I always wished there was somebody like the Coen Brothers and they appeared. And so yeah, my favorite role that I've ever done was in The Man Who Wasn't There. That's my very favorite character I've ever played.
