Mr. Mom..who played the exterminator?
 
My husband and I have 5 bucks riding on this. :) I say the role of the exterminator in Mr. Mom was played by Larry Hankin, who also had roles in many of John Hughes' other films. My husband disagrees. I have googled until I can't google any more, to try and find out who this actor is! Obviously, the role was uncredited. PLEASE help me find out...it's driving me crazy. And I want my 5 bucks! :)

He has a similar look to Hankin, for sure, but apart from being older than him (Mr. Mom was 1983, and that actor is older then than Hankin is by the time he's on "Seinfeld" a decade later) the giveaway that it isn't Larry Hankin's voice or cadence, which is as distinctive as his face.

You owe your husband five bucks.

Thanks Holden. I was SO certain that I was right. I stand corrected, and will pay up the 5 bucks, pronto! :)

I believe the character of ''Bert'' (who was the Exterminator) was played by Michael Alaimo. Of course, the pic above is from another film i.e. ''Kentucky Fried Movie'' :)

Here's a clip (not a very good one) of him in ''Mr. Mom''.

EDIT:

Added another photo of him (the b/w one) in a scene from the 70s sitcom ''Billy''.

That's him, Viju, for sure!

As I said, Michael and Larry do look similar, but it's not as if they are twins.
