John Heard    FIRST   PRIOR   1 2 3       Last Post   Posted:   Jul 26, 2017 - 11:25 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) "The Client" was an hour-long television series based upon the John Grisham novel and the 1994 theatrical film of the same name, which had starred Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones. In the series, JoBeth Williams played "Reggie Love," an Atlanta attorney specializing in family law. John Heard was "District Attorney Roy Foltrigg," her most frequent adversary in court, but someone who still liked and respected her. CBS premiered the series as a two-hour television movie on Sunday, 17 September 1995. It began its regular run the following Tuesday, 19 September, at 8 PM. The series faced fairly stiff competition from ABC's "Roseanne" (the #16 rated series for the year) and NBC's "Wings" (#35) and "NewsRadio" (#39). "The Client" was cancelled after a single season. John Heard and JoBeth Williams    Posted:   Jul 26, 2017 - 11:41 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In the adventure-comedy MY FELLOW AMERICANS, two former U.S. Presidents (Jack Lemmon and James Garner), hated rivals, join forces to expose the current, corrupt President (Dan Akroyd) at the risk of their lives. John Heard co-starred as "Vice President Ted Matthews." Peter Segal directed the 1996 film. Only one track from William Ross' score appeared on the TVT Records soundtrack CD. But Ross released the score on his own label a few years later.    Posted:   Jul 27, 2017 - 12:01 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In the Ed Harris biopic POLLOCK, in which Harris starred as artist Jackson Pollock, John Heard played sculptor Tony Smith, who was a friend of Pollock's. Pollock and Smith were both born in 1912, and Pollock was making sculptures at Tony Smith’s home during the last year of his life. Harris also directed the 2000 drama. Jeff Beal's score was released by Unitone Records. In 2007, Perseverance released the rejected score for the film by Donald Rubinstein.    Posted:   Jul 27, 2017 - 12:20 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) O was an update of Shakespeare's "Othello" with a young cast, set in an upper class prep school, and centered around basketball player "Odin James" (Mekhi Phifer). John Heard played the Dean of Palmetto Grove Academy, "Dean Brable." Tim Blake Nelson directed the 2001 drama. Jeff Danna's score was released by Varese Sarabande.    Posted:   Jul 27, 2017 - 12:38 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) MONDAY NIGHT MAYHEM was a 2002 television movie that told the story of how ABC's "Monday Night Football," a live broadcast of the National Football League, came to be a hit show. The film starred John Turturro as Howard Cosell, Kevin Anderson as Frank Gifford, and Brad Beyer as Don Meredith, the trio of broadcasters who were brought together in 1970 by president of ABC Sports Roone Arledge (John Heard). Ernest R. Dickerson directed the film, which had an unreleased score by Grant Geissman and Van Dyke Parks.    Posted:   Jul 27, 2017 - 1:09 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) THE CHUMSCRUBBER follows a zonked-out high schooler (Jamie Bell), whose personal-space bubble is forcibly breached after witnessing the death of his small-time drug dealer friend. Soon, the quest for a misplaced stash leads to both a botched kidnapping and increasing levels of pharmaceutical-fueled dementia, all the while staying under the radar of the community's variously self-medicating parental units. Glenn Close stars as the stone-faced, inwardly destroyed Stepford mother of the deceased dealer. John Heard plays "Officer Lou Bratley." Arie Posin directed this 2005 darkly satiric tale. James Horner's score shared space with a number of songs on the Lakeshore Records soundtrack release.    Posted:   Jul 27, 2017 - 1:25 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) SWEET LAND is set in 1920, when "Inge" (Elizabeth Reaser), a German national, travels from Norway to rural Minnesota for her arranged marriage to "Olaf" (Tim Guinee), a Norwegian farmer. But bureaucracy and prejudice cause major complications. John Heard co-starred as "Minister Sorrensen" in this 2006 romantic drama. The film was directed by Ali Selim. Composer Mark Orton released the soundtrack on his own label.    Posted:   Jul 27, 2017 - 1:41 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) THE GREAT DEBATERS was a drama based on the true story of Melvin B. Tolson (Denzel Washington), a professor at Wiley College Texas. In 1935, he inspired students to form the school's first debate team, which went on to challenge Harvard in the national championship. John Heard played "Sheriff Dozier" in the 2007 film. Denzel Washington also directed the picture. The film had a song-track CD released by Atlantic Records, and Varese Sarabande released the score by James Newton Howard and Peter Golub.    Posted:   Jul 27, 2017 - 10:26 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) No recounting of John Heard's career would be complete without mentioning his co-starring role in the original, infamous SHARKNADO, the 2013 television film that combined two fan favorites--sharks and disaster films. The story finds "Fin Shepard" (Ian Ziering), a former elite surfer, now running a bar on the Santa Monica pier. He hangs out with surfer buddy "Baz" (Jaason Simmons) and employs spunky waitress "Nova" (Cassie Scerbo), while veteran John Heard brings up the rear as barfly "George." Soon, a ferocious storm approaches, driving great numbers of sharks towards the shore where they promptly begin to feast on unlucky swimmers. As one shark comes crashing into the bar through a window, Nova gets to show she’s one to be reckoned with by impaling it with a pool cue. George takes care of another one with his trusty bar stool, before the group heads inland through the rapidly flooding city in order to rescue Fin’s ex-wife "April" (Tara Reid) and daughter. Anthony C. Ferrante directed this genre mash-up. Ramin Kousha's score was released by Lakeshore Records.    Posted:   Jul 27, 2017 - 10:54 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) John Heard's lead roles in several independent films at the start of his career did not lead to "movie stardom," but instead to a nearly 40-year career as one of our best character actors. Thanks for all your fine portrayals, John, of good guys and bad.     Non-Film Score Discussion: R.I.P.
