In The Kids Are Alright episode “Christmas 1972”, when Peggy’s (Mary McCormack) successful brother, Tom, drops in for Christmas, her husband Mike (Michael Cudlitz) immediately oozes with jealousy. After Tom gives the Clearys an extravagant Christmas gift, pride prevents Mike from taking it – putting him at odds with the rest of the family.
Tom is portrayed by Nat Faxon, Oscar Award-winning screenwriter for The Descendants starring George Clooney. As an actor, Faxon is known for his roles on Friends from College (Nick), Married (Russ Bowman), Reno 911! (Milk Shake), Grosse Pointe (Kevin “The P.A.”), and in a variety of movies including Bad Teacher (Mark) and Orange County (Kip), among others. The Kids Are Alright airs Tuesdays at 8:30 pm on ABC, right after The Conners and right before black-ish.
