has few lines, but his role expands in later seasons, particularly in scenes with Holling and Shelly, but also with Joel, who often asks him to explain local Native American customs. Dave and Shelly appear to get along particularly well, likely because of their similarly friendly personalities. He was called Buffalo Child in the episode "Sex, Lies, and Ed's Tape", and then William J. White. Eugene Eugene (Earl Quewezance) replaced Dave as the cook at the Brick near the end of the fifth season. Earl the Barber Earl is a frequent background extra played by Jerry Morris, the real owner of the barbershop that appears in the show.

She was first introduced in the season three episode "The Bumpy Road to Love", where a house call by Joel leads to an argument between her and Adam.

His daughter Heather Haines is briefly Ed Chigliak's love interest.
