Jon Moxon
We can’t say that when we saw James Van Der Beek in those sappy and seemingly never ending dialogue in Dawson’s Creek, that we would have bought him as a Quarterback. Perhaps that is why he worked in Varsity Blues, as Van Der Beek played Jon Moxon, who was kind of the anti-Quarterback. He was content to be a backup, and an academic star, and served well as the best friend to the star QB, Lance Harbor. When he did step in, he was good, but it was never implied that he was as good as Harbor. Rather, it was not necessarily his desire to win at all costs, but that Football was a game and not a life. This attitude may not have won him the affection of the win at all costs coach (Jon Voight), and essentially led to him leading munity against him. Moxon would rally the troops imploring them to “play like gods” that night, and win the game. As the football scenes in this film looked good, and Moxon was the team’s star, could this be a candidate for our little Hall? It might just be.
