Dan Conner is a primary fictional character in the ''Roseanne'' television series. He is the husband to fellow primary character Roseanne Conner, and father to two daughters Darlene and Becky Conner, and two sons D.J. Conner and Jerry Garcia Conner. He is portrayed by John Goodman. Throughout the years, Goodman has won several awards, including a Golden Globe, for his portrayal of Dan Conner. ==Creation and conception== Dan Conner was portrayed by John Goodman. When he was chosen, co-star Roseanne Barr stated that she was happy, adding that she had a "big crush" on him from the start.〔 At one point during the second to the last season, Goodman walked off the set after co-star Roseanne Barr had an on-set outburst. It was speculated that he was growing tired of her outbursts. While he considered leaving for good, Goodman held negotiations with its producers. At first, he agreed to finish the episode, but later agreed to do an episode to explain his exit. However, Goodman eventually agreed to return to the series. John Goodman chose to reduce his role in ''Roseanne'' to focus on his film career.〔''The Miami Herald''. April 21, 1996.〕 After this announcement, he was in negotiations with the producers on how many episodes he would appear in the following season. One of the numbers being thrown around was six. Ted Harbert, boss of ABC Entertainment, commented that Roseanne, the actress who portrays the character of the same name, was excited to return for a ninth season, with or without Goodman, which could be about her and her sister, Jackie Harris, as single parents. He attempted to dismiss the role of Dan, stating that Jackie has a lot more screen time than he does.〔 ''Los Angeles Daily News'' editor Phil Rosenthal criticized Harbert for his comments, describing Dan as the emotional anchor of the series. Rosenthal compared Dan to daughter Becky Conner, who was portrayed by two different actresses due to scheduling conflicts over the years, and son D.J. Conner, who was portrayed by a different actor in the pilot than the one in later episodes. He called Metcalf, who portrays Jackie, a wonderful actress, but added that Dan's love for his wife showed viewers that she could be lovable despite her abrasiveness, similarly to Edith Bunker and Archie Bunker in ''All in the Family''. Rosenthal brought up similar departures that caused their respective programs to slip in quality, and warned that ''Roseanne'' may suffer the same fate if Goodman left.〔 In the end, Goodman signed on for one more season. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dan Conner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
