stephen collins
bullet::::- walter bernard, sr. (stephen collins) and ellen bernard (dee wallace) are andy's affluent, ritzy, fastidious parents, who view andy as a disappointment, and as such, treat him with disdain. the two debuted in "goodbye, toby", where they attended toby's farewell party, and also witnessed andy's proposal to angela (although, in this episode, they are portrayed by different, uncredited actors, and walter is named "andrew", just like his eldest son). several years later, they reappear in the episode "garden party", where they attend andy's garden party at schrute farms, along with walter, jr. after andy becomes frustrated with his father and brother, walter confronts andy about his "obnoxious attitude", which he turns into a browbeating, as he tells andy to stop seeking his approval, because he is not impressed that he is the "manager of some rinky dink branch". during "angry andy", andy calls his father and tells him of nellie bertram stealing his job. it is implied that walter refers to the job as a demotion to andy, who is visibly defensive. however, shortly after this, andy has an anger outburst, and picks the phone and finally stands up to his father, yelling "dad, go to hell, i'm taller than you!" before hanging up on him. in the ninth season, walter, sr. bankrupts his family when he takes all of their money and flees to argentina with his mistress, which forces andy to sell many of the family's heirlooms so that ellen can support herself.
