In the original film, Anthony Edwards (ER) played Goose, the best friend and co-pilot of Lieutenant Pete "Maverick" Mitchell (as played by Tom Cruise) who unfortunately loses his life during the course of the flick. At one point, we see Goose's wife (Meg Ryan) and some of their adorable children, one of whom who will play a large part in the upcoming sequel.
