Peter Sagal

Moffat, a movie and TV actor known for Friday Night Lights and, more recently, One Battle After Another, is the chair of that department.

He joins us now.

D.W.

Moffat, welcome to Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.

Great to be here.

So...

So you've had a very long career.

A very, very long.

And I was thinking about what of your many roles people might recognize you for.

I was guessing Friday Night Lights.

Yeah.

Well, okay, in Friday Night Lights, if I'm not mistaken, you played a dad of one of the high school football players.

And I think I can say, this is not a spoiler, a bad dad.

The worst dad ever.

And the plot was that you're trying to shape your child into the perfect football playing machine, and it goes awry.

People take that show very seriously.

They're very passionate.

Are they still mad at you for ruining that kid's prospects?

Yeah.

Speaking of bad dads, you also appear in the Oscar winner One Battle After Another as a member of this bizarre, secretive group of racists called the Christmas Adventurers Club.
