John Goodman is looking at the sunset for a role he has played for decades.
The Emmy-winning actor, who has portrayed patriarch Dan Conner on “Roseanne,” its rocky reboot and current spin-off “The Conners,” said that the latest series may soon be calling it a wrap.
“I think we may be coming to an end on it, I’m not sure,” he told France 24. “It’s lasted longer than I thought we would. It was just supposed to be like an eight (episode) show and out thing at one point, but they picked us up again, and they keep picking us up.”
“The Conners” follows the dysfunctional, working class, Midwestern family that television audiences fell in love with in the original Roseanne Barr-led sitcom during the late 1980s. ABC ordered the series as a replacement for the 2018 “Roseanne” revival that was canceled after Barr became embroiled in a racist controversy for describing former President Barack Obama’s adviser Valerie Jarrett by tweeting, “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby.”
