Roy Munson

Roy Munson is the hero of the 1996 comedy movie, Kingpin. He was played by Woody Harrelson.
After he wins and defeats his rival, Ernie McCracken, Ernie talks Roy into hustling bowlers and then when the bowlers are onto the scam, Ernie escapes and leaves Roy to the angry bowlers, who destroy his hand. 17 years later, Roy is a bowling alley supplies seller, which doesn't make him a lot of money. While hes doing a sells call, Roy takes notice of Ishmael Boorg, a hero and a great bowler as well, and attempts to ask him to become a professional bowler, with Roy as his manager.
But Ishmael turns Roy down and says that hes Amish and is discreet about his bowling hobby. Later Roy reads a headline saying a one-million dollar winner-take-all tournament advertisement and then gets Ishmael, who is going through a losing farm to the bank crisis for one million dollars, to join him in winning the bowling prize money. Unfortunately Roy sees that Ishmael is not as talented as he thought but with his coaching Ishmael steps up his game you know. After many wins and picking up Claudia, heroine and Roy's love interest, they arrive at Reno, where they run into Ernie McCracken, who has become a bowling champion.
Ernie humiliates Roy and then Ishmael tries to punch Ernie, who cowardly runs away. Ishmael breaks his hand badly and therefore can't bowl and says they still have a chance to win if Roy takes his place. Roy enters the tournament and bowls with his rubber hand. With many wins in the tournament, he and Ernie are then pitted against each other and Ishmael's brother comes to take Ishmael home.
Roy sees that he's now by himself and loses the tournament but later Roy returns back to where he and Ishmael live and makes $500,000 for an endorsement deal for Trojan Condoms and Claudia returns to Roy and says that she has a lot of money, which she got from her ex-boyfriend, who bet against Roy and also says that she told her ex-boyfriend that she was seeing Ernie and with her and Roy informing her ex-boyfriend, her ex-boyfriend and his goons go after and possibly beat Ernie within an inch of his life. Roy and Claudia give the money that Ishmael and his family needs to save their farm and Roy covers up all of Ishmael's sins and Ishmael becomes a great hero to his family. Claudia and Roy fall in love and drive away afterward.
