Biography for
Dr. Daniel Goodman (Character)
from "Bones" (2005)

Dr Daniel Goodman was the boss. He is an archeologist by trade but works mainly as the administrator of the Forensic Anthropology unit. Eventually he hires Dr Camille Saroyan to be the hands-on administrator for the team, handing over many responsibilities to her.

A family man, Goodman has a wife and twin girls. He often plays the father figure to the Squint Squad, reprimanding and encouraging where necessary. It was Goodman that originally suggests, and in fact insists, that Dr Brennan join Special Agent Booth in the field and on investigations in a wider role than just that of consultant to the FBI. He cunningly pushes Zack Addy on to gaining his Doctorate, while trying to detach him from his links to Dr Brennan which had been holding him back.
