Nick Offerman

Nevermind the Pac-Town

The new Apple TV series, Margot's Got Money Troubles, is about Margot, a bright college freshman who ill-advisedly has an affair with her English professor.

She ends up getting pregnant and decides to have and keep the baby—

Margot herself was raised by a single mom.

Her dad, Jinx, played by Nick Offerman, was a popular professional wrestler when she was born and has been pretty absent from her life.

Now, his career is in the past, and his injuries have caused him chronic pain.

He turns to painkillers, then heroin, and then rehab.

He's there when he hears about Margot and decides to come back into her life after years of being away.

In this scene, he comes to Margot's door and meets the baby for the first time.

Margot is played by Elle Fanning.

You're a grandpa.

He's the most beautiful.

Oh, I brought you a check.

Sold an old bike.

It's not much, but I'm sorry I wasn't able to call you back.

Um, well, for tonight I gotta figure, and then starting tomorrow, I guess I gotta figure that, too.

Can I hold him?

He's a little fussy.

Hey, little man.

He likes you.
