John Goodman: Goodman plays Eli Gemstone, ornery patriarch of the Gemstones clan. His presence is the first tipoff to the Coen Brothers’ influence on The Righteous Gemstones – Raising Arizona, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy, The Big Lebowski, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Inside Llewyn Davis, and Sawbones, the Coen Bros.’ radio drama. Only Frances McDormand has appeared in more Coen Bros.’ projects, and she’s married to Joel Coen. (Goodman is tied for second place with Steve Buscemi.)
