Last night I re-watch the Tom Hanks movie The 'burbs and was
struck with the similiarity between that movie's characters
and King of the Hills.
Even though he look nothing like Hank Hills, Tom Hank's character
Ray Peterson is similiar to Hank in that both Ray & Hank are a pillar
of common sense and wisdom in comparison to his neighbors.
The rest of his neighbor bores more of a resemblance to the
Arlene neighbors. Bruce Dern plays a veterane iMark Rumsfield
who still harbors conspiracy theories and haven't got over the fact
that the Vietnam war is over. His analog is of course Dale. Even
his wife resembles Nancy, Dales wife in that she is also a Barbie
doll airhead.
And finally the last of the neighbor is Walter, who bores more than
an resembelance to Bill of King of the Hills.
