6. Walter Sobchak (John Goodman)
Movie: The Big Lebowski (1998)
Why Hes a Douche: Walter has severe anger management issues, which are exacerbated by an interior vulnerability that hes desperate to hide. Hes highly opinionated, hell pull a gun for literally nothing and he has no qualms with smashing in a car or two to prove a point (even if it is the wrong car). Hes loud, aggressive and uncontrollable and if it werent for Walter, The Dude would have solved the films kidnapping plot within a fraction of the time.
Why You Love Him: Its John Goodman; the guy could play Hitler and youd be able to find at least one thing to like about him. Its Walters hidden vulnerability that makes him so interesting in The Big Lebowski; in his interactions with The Dude, you might perceive an almost childish tone to his responses, like hes defending himself after throwing a tantrum. And actually, he usually is. Thats why hes so easy to love he might be menacing in stature but inside hes small, afraid. Its hard not to develop an emotional attachment to character that underneath, you suspect just wants a big hug.
