| ~ Just shows how much he cares about his kids. |
So, I have recently finished all the Live-Action Alvin and the Chipmunks films, and while he'll be a controversial candidate, I'm convinced he qualifies, so I'll give it a try, but if it doesn't work out, then I'll happily propose him on the IA wiki instead.
