Character[]

Nick's father is a military man, who doesn’t live with his wife and lives with his son and comes off as very strict, stern, and even lacking some empathy or logic. With no room for proper conversations, he more so barks orders at his son, and as such, their relationship is very strained.

Biography[]

In "I'm with the Band", Mr. Andopolis orders his son, Nick, to stop playing his drums in the basement of their home, while Lindsay Weir is there with him. Strictly, he tells his son to catch up to his studies to get decent grades in school, so he can be accepted to the military when he graduates with a diploma from high school. However, Nick refuses, because he admits that he is getting poor or bad grades in school and his passionate dream for being in the band is much stronger than serving his country as a disposable tool for war, which certainly gives most soldiers severe PTSD. Nick leaves the conversation with his father to exit his house with Lindsay in sadness, but Lindsay cheers him up by kissing him and they become a couple.

In "Smooching and Mooching", Mr. Andopolis sells his son's 29-piece drum set, upsetting Nick and him moving into the Weir family home for the night, despite Lindsay not being fond of it.
