John F. Goff
Biography
John F. Goff is an actor and screenwriter who worked largely in low-budget exploitation pictures. He grew up in Kreole, on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, won a scholarship to Mississippi Southern College, and gave up a possible athletic career for acting while he was still a student, starting out in summer stock and reviewing movies for Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. His roles included an abusive sea captain in The Witch Who Came from the Sea (1976), the music producer punched by Gary Busey in The Buddy Holly Story (1978), a doomed fisherman in John Carpenter's The Fog (1980), a sleazy lawyer in Maniac Cop (1988), and a rude alien in They Live (1988). He was the police psychiatrist in Relentless (1989) and came back for its first sequel. He also co-wrote Drive-In Massacre (1976) and other screenplays, often with George Buck Flower, and handled second unit directing.
