2023 Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame - Round 1

Jimmy MacElroy

Jimmy MacElroy
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: Blades of Glory (2007)
  • Actor/Actress: Jon Heder
  • Played For:: U.S.A.
  • Why you should vote:: Because you watched Napoleon Dynamite fifteen times.
  • Why you should not vote:: An effeminate figure skater is not what we picture in the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame.
  • After the surprise success of Napoleon Dynamite, it seemed that the world could not get enough of Jon Heder; that is until we saw more of Jon Heder. Realistically, there isn’t much you can do with him other than effeminate wimpy roles….so enter, Figure Skating. With all due respect to Napoleon Dynamite fans out there, Heder’s Jimmy MacElroy was not exactly the strongest part of this film, and was overshadowed by his co-stars. Still, he performed the dangerous “Iron Lotus” at the end, and was paired with the bookishly cute, Jenna Fischer, so that gets at least a somewhat acceptable score from the German judge.
