Craig Theodore Nelson (born April 4, 1944 in Spokane , Washington ) is an American actor . He was best known for his participation in the television series Mit Herz und Scherz (1989–1997), The District - Mission in Washington (2000–2004) and Parenthood (2010–2015).

The "T", which stands for Theodore in his name, was added because an actor other than "Craig Nelson" was already registered as a member of the Screen Actors Guild .

Career
