Appearances on Unhappily Ever After

Geoff Pierson (Roland Squab) played the main character, Jack Malloy, a used car salesman who suffers from schizophrenia and spends his time taking to a stuffed rabbit named Mr. Floppy that only he can hear. At the beginning of the series, he is in the process of divorcing his wife and living in an apartment before eventually moving back home and living in the basement for the remainder of the series. Like Al Bundy, he hates his sales job, is the sole breadwinner, hates his mother-in-law who lives with the family, is often insulted by the rest of his family, and drinks alcohol to escape from his problems. Besides Mr. Floppy, the only other person he cares about is his daughter, Tiffany, who, like Kelly Bundy, manipulates him to get what she wants.
