Will Patton

Sam Jackson.

Will Patton.

And there's three other books in the series, okay?

Star Trek?

Just shut it.

Wait, Will Patton.

Who's Will Patton?

No.

In 1971, Virginia, the newly integrated T.C. Williams High School football team must overcome racial tension both inside and outside locker room.

Denzel Washington, you know the guy, plays coach Herman Boone, while Will Patton plays coach Bill Yost.

What begins as two coaches with very different approaches become a story about players learning to trust one another while their community struggled with immigration.

The football becomes a setting for a much larger story about teamwork, prejudice, leadership, and community.

The cast includes Denzel Washington, Will Patton, Wood Harris, Ryan Hurst, Donald Faison, Ethan Suple, Kate Bosworth, kip padu as ronnie sunshine base and our our our girl our cheerleader hayden penitier young hayden penitier

uh also stars freaking ryan gosling

because why not There's some serious nostalgia in seeing actors like Donald Faison and Hayden Panteri this early in their careers.

Wow, in a weird twist.

Will Patton as Lou Smit, recurring.

John Billingsley as...

Now, this says Santa Bill McReynolds.

And so we'll get into the history of how Jerry Maguire got into production.

So this month we've talked a lot about coaches as we were talking about being the main focus of football movies with Gene Hackman in The Replacements, Denzel Washington and Will Patton in Remember the Titans, and next week we're talking about Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday.

And while Jerry Maguire doesn't focus on a coach, as we were saying, the story of how the movie makes it to the big screen deals a lot with the mentor-mentee relationships.

And for Cameron Crowe, those two big relationships were James L. Brooks and Billy Wilder.

That's about all I know as well.

Will Patton, that is who read the...

Oh, the actor.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Over the middle, it is complete to Kramer at the 25, at the 20, fights his way to the 16-yard line before he's rested down.

Sam Hunt, Bill Patton, bringing down Ron Kramer, the tight right end, work over the middle.

Starr hitting perfectly with a quick pass.

First down at the giant 18-yard line.

It would not have been narratively satisfying.

So we just talked about The Postman a couple months ago, and that film has a confrontation between Will Patton and Kevin Costner where they are just quoting Shakespeare to each other.

It's this whole Shakespeare confrontation.

This does it better by having a Latin-off between Biehn's character and Holliday.
