Looking back, Caddyshack could have probably cast many goofing looking no-names in the role of Danny Noonan, so the question is did Michael O’Keefe do enough in this role, or was this really a movie that was run by the comedic talents in the flick? What works in Noonan’s favor is that he won the golf game at the end, but realistically when people quote this film; do they mention anything O’Keefe did? Chances are they didn’t, but considering the iconic stature of this movie, shouldn’t he have a shot?
The role that made Rodney Dangerfield, Al Czervik was the everyman who just happened to be rich. You wanted to party with him, drink beer with him and listen to Journey on his boom box emanating from his golf bag.
