Brian Darling:
A reverend with the Episcopal church, Brian Darling is a pale, sour, whiny jerk who loathed Nick as a kid and still loathes him.
Brian believes Nick's father spent his entire life trying to insinuate himself into a family to which he didn't belong, and he now fears that Nick will follow the same path.
But Brian has family issues of his own.
For starters, there's the illegitimate son with whom he's just been saddled. And the only person he can turn to for help is Nick.
The Actor:
