John Goodman
John Goodman played a lovable dad on Roseanne for years, so it’s not really a surprise to see him play the role of a concerned dad in Coyote Ugly. Violet’s father supported her by moving to New York to pursue her dreams, but he was also overprotective. When Officer Bill Sanford, John’s character, finds out his daughter works at Coyote Ugly, it didn’t sit with him well. Violet may be an adult who can make her own choices, but many parents could relate to being concerned about their children.
