Is George's dad this season a new guy? I don't recognize him from last season when George borrowed his father's car and parked in the handicap space. I don't think he really works for George's dad, he seems too young. He is also quite weird.

You're right. He is being played by a new actor. I like him better than the old one, though, because he's weird. I liked the way he slapped George on the head with a magazine on the 11/4 episode. -Nick

I'm sure I'm not the first to mention this, but George does have a new dad this year. The new father is played by that classic comedian Jerry Stiller (who, along with his wife Anne Meara, formed a comedy team in the 50's and 60's). Some of their old comedy albums are hilarious.

BTW, that is a new father, and he is being played by Ben Stiller's father. I gotta agree, bring back the old Father!!!
