Did anyone catch or can someone look on a tape of last night's show (10/14) and tell me the name (real life) of the man who played the yuppie father. The credits went by SO quick, I didn't get a chance to see them. He looks very familiar....

Thanks! Bruce

And who played the moyel? He looked familiar as well, but none of us at the office could figure out who he is.

Dunno who played him, but I thought the character was very well-written. His neurosis was believable to me (I expected it to end up that he *hadn't* circumcised the kid, though). I really enjoyed his scenes.

I thought the show's ending was weak, though. Also the whole bit about George being embarrassed about and the hospital administrator being indignant about George's asking for compensation for the suicide landing on his car. Just one of those reality-check things. In real life, there would be no question that the hospital would be liable for the car, and they'd be happy to pay, and not get sued to "mental distress" or something.
