The actor appeared as Mr. Burgin, the father of Rachel's boyfriend Joshua
On season four, $4 and her then-boyfriend Joshua go to his parents' house for the evening, they think they're all alone. But it turns out, his parents have just returned from their holiday.

For almost 40 years, John appeared in $4, including "George of the Jungle" and "The Sweetest Thing," the science-fiction classic "Independence Day," and hit TV shows like "Veronica Mars."
