Hamilton J. DuPont XXV is Mork and Mindy's snobby antagonist in The Mork & Mindy/Laverne & Shirley/Fonz Hour. He is voiced by actor Mark L. Taylor.
Character summary[]
Tall blond and classically good looking, Hamilton knows it. Wealthy and pretentious (introducing himself as Hamilton J. DuPont the 25th), he's vain, self absorbed, snotty, egotistical and entitled. He speaks with a posh WASPish accent. He will never pass off a chance to tell people how rich he is, expecting it to impress people, with the effect that it turns people off to him, which he never seems to get.
Hamilton attends Mt. Mount High School with Mork and Mindy, sporting the latest and best fashion and driving top of the range imported cars.
Always desirous of the best, he also wants Mindy, and has apparently been trying to get her for years (The Fluke Spook). It hasn't occurred to him despite her constant turn downs, that she's not interested in him. It angers him no end then that she's fallen for and is dating Mork. Something his one friend, Skip, seems to privately delight in repeatedly pointing out. Furiously jealous of the Orkan, he looks for for any and every excuse to either demean Mork in Mindy's eyes or expose him for being different. Occasionally suspecting and even accusing Mork of being an alien, but never wholly being able to prove that Mork is actually an extraterrestrial.
He tends to serve as an antagonist and source of character friction. Much like his father as it transpires (Mayhem For The Mayor), he's not afraid to use underhanded and dirty tactics, but either through fortune or Mork's actions, he inevitably ends up being the butt of jokes at the end.
He, like every one else, regards Doing as merely some sort of weird dog.
