80 Remember the Titans Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: Denzel Washington

Washington, born on December 28th, 1954 in Mount Vernon, New York was cast as Herman Boone. Mr. Boone was an African American man who was hired to be the new coach for a high school in Virginia. Herman realized that he would have a team of both black and white players since the school had just been integrated. Nevertheless, he worked hard to get the players to work together and respect one another, despite the racist views of that time. Boone was a strict, no nonsense coach who had a rigorous schedule for practices. In one scene, he took the players to the fields of where the Battle of Gettysburg was fought and told them there that they needed to stick together or they would fail. At the end of the movie, Coach Yoast (who Herman succeeded as the football coach) told Coach Boone he was very proud of what he did with the boys.

Washington starred in the movies, "Man on Fire", "Mo' Better Blues" and "Philadelphia". In 2002, he won the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for the movie, "Training Day", becoming just the second African American to win an Oscar in that category (the first being Sidney Poitier). Other Oscar nominees for Best Actor in a Leading Role that year were Russell Crowe for "A Beautiful Mind", Will Smith for "Ali", Sean Penn for "I Am Sam" and Tom Wilkinson for "In the Bedroom".

Answer: Will Patton

Patton, born in 1954 in Charleston, South Carolina landed the part of William Yoast. As the head coach of a high school football team, Coach Yoast was well respected and the team disliked it when he was replaced by Herman Boone. Coach Yoast promised the players he would stay around and be the assistant coach. At one point, Coach Yoast reminded Coach Boone that this was a high school football team and they were not in the Marines since he felt Boone's workout schedule was extreme. Near the end of the movie, Coach Yoast was considered to be placed in a Hall of Fame but he was not entered into it due to his support for Herman Boone. However, Coach Boone told Coach Yoast at the end of the movie that he was a Hall of Famer in his book.

Patton had roles in the films, "Armageddon", "The Postman" and "Romeo is Bleeding".

Answer: Kate Bosworth

Bosworth portrayed Emma Hoyt in a minor role. Emma dated Gerry and really appreciated how he was a star football player. At first, Gerry had prejudices against African Americans, but he became great friends with his African American teammates. In one scene, Gerry introduced best friend, Julius, to Emma but she refused to shake his hand since Julius was black. Emma broke up with Gerry and told him that she might possibly get over her prejudicial views against black people but that she was not ready to do so at that time. In the final game to determine the champions, Emma went up to Julius, shook his hand and wished him good luck.

Bosworth was seen in the movies, "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!", "Blue Crush" and "Superman Returns".

When everyone was standing in the parking lot, Boone told the offense to get on one bus and the defense to get on another bus.
