Morty Fine is Fran's father, and Sylvia's husband. Morty's lack of appearance on the show is often a running gag as he is only mentioned, or simply has his back turned on the viewers. His face is finally seen in Ma'ternal Affairs, where he visits Fran while trying to deal with Sylvia having an affair with her doctor.

Trivia

• Up until Ma'ternal Affairs, Morty is hardly seen.
• Morty is deaf and on a pension.
• Before being portrayed by Steve Lawrence to reveal his face, he was portrayed as a rare background character by Fran Drescher's real life father, who is also named Morty.
