Rick Mellor

**Richard "Rick" Mellor** (born December 5, 1947) is the Physical Education coach at William Penn Academy, a recurring character in *The Goldbergs* and a main character in *Schooled*. He is portrayed by Bryan Callen.

## Occupation

In seasons 1-6 of *The Goldbergs*, Rick is the Physical Education coach at William Penn Academy. He takes his job very seriously, and seems to have a habit of giving nicknames to the kids he teaches (commonly referring to Adam Goldberg as "Goldfarb" and Erica as "Girl Goldberg"). In Season 6, he leaves William Penn to train wrestlers, leaving his job to his brother Nick. We learn in *Schooled* that he eventually returned.

## Personal Life

Not a lot is known about Rick's life outside of school. He previously dated Susan Cinoman, the drama teacher at William Penn, but the relationship ended seven years prior to the events of "I'll Be There For You", despite the fact that Rick believed they were simply "on a break". In *Schooled*, he is currently in a relationship with a woman named Julie.

Beverly offers to help, which is met with resistance from Barry, but after Bev helps Naked Rob meet a girl, Barry starts to see Bev as more than just a mom.

Acting on mom's advice to just converse and be himself, Barry lands a study date with Jamie. Mr. Glascott warns Bev that Jamie is a "bleacher person", causing Bev to try and break up the couple, but she later learns that Jamie is a straight-A student and helps Barry look cool in front of Jamie.

Elsewhere, Murray's Ottoman Empire is facing tough competition from the Formica King, who is known for his outrageous local commercials. Murray asks Adam to make him a straightforward sales pitch commercial, but Marvin jumps in and adds ridiculous elements without telling Murray. Murray fires Marvin, but later sees that his commercial was surprisingly effective, as Ottoman Empire experiences an increase in business.

After a brief time where Marvin works for the Formica King, Murray hires him back.
