Ross "The Boss" Rhea

Ross "The Boss" Rhea
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: Goon (2011)
  • Actor/Actress: Leiv Schreiber
  • Position Portrayed: Enforcer
  • Played For:: St. John's Shamrocks
  • Why you should vote:: For a villain, it was more depth than you would expect for a sports role.
  • Why you should not vote:: It isn’t exactly the best representation of Minor Hockey.
  • It may not have been a large role, but was not Leiv Schreiber effective as Ross “The Boss” Rhea” in his role as a hockey goon? We think so, and we thought he nailed the rile as a veteran goon to the ‘t’ thus leading to an effective contest against the hero at the end. He was a villain who was not exactly evil, but was motivated to win based on his athletic accomplishments. That in itself makes him a solid character for our purposes.
