"Hal Wilkerson is a major character in the popular comedy series Malcolm In The Middle and although he is the father of titular protagonist, he is often portrayed as a childish and delusional psychopath. He is an immature and irresponsible father that Francis Malcolm, Reese, and Dewey represent. Hal is often a bad influence on Francis Malcolm, Reese, and Dewey, for example beating people up and getting into fights. Although Hal is married to Lois, he's often portrayed as her right hand man, every time he doesn't want to punish the kids Lois forces him to. He is arguably an even worse parent than Lois because although Lois does have good intentions, Hal will forsake his own children just so he can have fun. For instance when Dewey won a lottery ticket for one thousand dollars, he said he was going to put it in Dewey's college fund, but in actuality he steals the money and uses it to rent a steamroller to play with. He squished cakes and even bubble wrap (who doesn't want to?). It's not until Dewey places a figurine saying \"I love you this much\" does he stop and decide to give it back. Mostly he is very devoted to Lois. Mostly she always sides with her when she punishes the boys. Sometimes he will punish themselves. He could be very arrogant and egotistical. Mostly he was a hypocrite, because the boys the destructive behavior comes from him."@en . . . . . "Head of a pirate radio station Scapegoat for his company"@en . . .

"Hal Wilkerson is one of the main characters of the sitcom, Malcolm in the Middle. He is the father of the six Wilkerson's, Francis, Reese, Malcolm, Dewy, Jamie and an unnamed baby. He is also the husband to Louis but he is much worse parent compared to her style of controlling the boys. He is portrayed by the actor Bryan Cranston who is infamously known for his portrayal of Walter White in the hit TV series Breaking Bad. Hal acts as the enforcer of Lois. He will constantly try to keep his sons in control however he has an extremely poor handling of them and is nowhere near as good as Lois. He also shows signs of being a pathological and compulsive liar. He normally goes out of his way to get money even if it is on a superstition an example was when he had a dream that in Vegas he had won a jackpot but when he gets there it ends up being a weekend stay. Hal is incredibly irresponsible with his own money, when winning a thousand dollars in the lottery instead of investing it in something rational he buys himself a bulldozer. He almost came close to destroying an entire car dealership but he was stopped when Dewey planted \"I Love You This Much\" in his way. He has no hope for most of his children especially Francis and Reese, he also constantly neglects Dewey. The into son he has hope for is Malcolm who is a genius."@en . . . . .
