The CW Star of the Week: Enrico Colantoni

Who is he? He's the heroine's father on Veronica Mars, airing Tuesdays at 9/8c
Why do you heart him? We've loved him since his days on the sitcom Just Shoot Me, which, by the way, we watched in spite of David Spade. Anyhoo, we like how he portrays such a caring father figure to Veronica despite his difficulties in solving his own crimes. We hear being a single father is no piece of cake, and Enrico wears the role well.
Some tidbits about the only 'rico who's suave to us: The Yale grad loves hockey which means, yes, he's Canadian! Haha. The Toronto Maple Leafs are his favorite team. Admittedly, we here at The Source are not so enamored with the sport, but we do appreciate his dedication to causes such as helping at-risk youth. Check out this site for more info on Inner City Arts, where Enrico teaches drama.

How much do I love that he's from Canada! A Yale grad wow... I never knew.
I'm so proud to see Papa Mars featured in this issue that I'll ignore the fact that he's a Leaf's fan.
