Whizzer Deaver

Whizzer Deaver (played by Paul Dooley) is Dorothy's second husband since Season 2. Whizzer is about 52-53 years old.

Appearance[]

Whizzer is a fair-skinned man close to Willie Tanner's height.

Biography[]

The first time Whizzer appeared, Dorothy played hard-to-get because she was not ready to forget about "Sparky" (her late husband and Kate's father), despite Kate's insistence she is fine with having Whizzer for a stepfather, and Lynn and Brian saying they want Dorothy happy. However, ALF was able to convince her to date Whizzer Deaver and move on with her life. Whizzer and Dorothy got married in the Tanner residence in Season 2. Whizzer met ALF in Season 4, where Whizzer was perplexed by ALF's existence. However, unlike the fractal relationship between Dorothy and ALF, Whizzer was able to get along with ALF.

Whizzer was a clarinetist and band-leader for Whizzer Deaver and the Whizztones, a band that played at Club Juniper on Juniper Street.

There are conflicting stories as to how Whizzer and Dorothy met, both mentioned by Dorothy. At first, she said that she found Whizzer under her sink (fixing it). In the episode, "Break Up to Make Up," Dorothy said that she met Whizzer when he bought her a drink in a jazz club.

ALF thought the name "Whizzer" was ridiculous, to which Lynn retorted about ALF's uncle, saying that "Tinkle" was an odd name.

Etymology[]

Deaver is an English and old Irish surname.
