Biography:
Walter Sobchak is a fictional character from the 1998 film, The Big Lebowski, directed by Joel and Ethan Coen.
Portrayed by John Goodman, Walter is a Vietnam War veteran and staunchly opinionated Polish-American Jew. He is best friends with the film's protagonist, Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski, and often accompanies him to the bowling alley.
Sobchak is known for his volatile temper, adherence to Orthodox Judaism (despite converting after his divorce), and penchant for frequently referencing his war experiences. He is fiercely loyal to his friends, but his impulsive actions and tendency to overreact often complicate situations.
Walter's character is a key source of both humor and conflict in the film, embodying a blend of unwavering conviction and comedic absurdity. He's often seen as a symbol of a certain type of American male archetype, grappling with a sense of obsolescence in a rapidly changing world.
