In "Spider-Man", he played the role of Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin. Norman Osborn was the CEO of Oscorp and was somewhat of a father figure to Peter Parker, his son Harry's friend. He became Green Goblin after testing a strength enhancer on himself.
3. In the 1999 movie, "The Green Mile", what was special about the inmate John Coffey?

Answer: He was able to heal people.

John Coffey was accused of the rape and murder of two young girls, though he was really innocent. He had tried to save them, but he was too late and in his own words, he "couldn't take it back." When he first arrived at the prison, the guards were apprehensive because of his size, but they discovered that he was essentially harmless.

The first time he healed someone in the movie was when he healed Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks' character) from a urinary tract infection. He later healed a mouse, as well as healing the warden's wife's cancer illness.

Singles released from the album include: "American Idiot", "Wake Me Up When September Ends", "Jesus of Suburbia", "Holiday", and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams".
5. In the 1960's show "Green Acres" Oliver Wendell Douglas along with his wife left New York to fulfill his dreams of being a farmer. What was his profession before he left New York?

Answer: Lawyer

Oliver was a very successful lawyer in New York, but he left that behind and moved to Hooterville along with his wife, Lisa.

The part of Oliver was played by Eddie Albert and Lisa was played by Eva Gabor.
