Jack Byrnes

Jack Byrnes is the deuratagonist and initially main antagonist in the movie Meet the Parents and it’s two sequels. He is the wealthy alcoholic father of Pamela Martha Focker (nee. Byrnes) and an ally of Greg Focker later his father-in-law.
In all 3 films, Jack is not amused by Greg on the outside and antagonises, bullies and acts stubborn to him, but on the inside, he respects Greg and thinks he is the perfect man for his daughter and is perfect for the Byrnes and the circle of trust (which Jack created.) There have been some occasions where Jack starts to disrespect Greg like in the first film after he lost Mr. Jinx and replaced it with a fake Himalayan cat and where he destroyed Jack’s deceased mother’s ashes. Nethertheless, they are considered to be great allies.
He is portrayed by Robert De Niro
==Trivia==
*In the third film, Jack calls Greg "God-Focker", a nod to DeNiro's role in The Godfather franchise.
