I didn't know James Hampton died, I really liked his performance as Scott's father.

Mr. Howard in Teen Wolf actually strikes me as the dad that you always wanted and wished that you could have. He was very empathetic, wise, kind, and strong (especially in the scene where he confronts and stands up for his son to his school principal). He's basically the Uncle Ben to Scott's Peter Parker right down to saying "With great power comes great responsibility".

He actually should have (considering he did both the live action AND cartoon) held up the cartoon project for rights. He probably was the only one who could claim money on it. But again we would not have recognized it as little kids. Oh well, it's nice that he wanted us to have a cartoon.

Yeah he was a cool dad. He even played basketball w Boof and considering that he DID have superhuman stamina he did not go all out.
