Does anyone know the actor that played Doris' dad?


I can't find on IMDB the actor that actually played Doris' dad. It says Ed Quinn played Mr. Murphy (uncredited) but when I pull up Ed Quinn its a different person. Doris is Rosie O'Donnell and her father is shown at the end of the movie saying he'll take Doris out for a steak dinner. Thanks

Why do you think it's not him? IMDB is not the only source that identifies him: http://www.aveleyman.com/ActorCredit.aspx?ActorID=52831

Well, there must be two "Ed Quinns" then, because the only Ed Quinn I was able to find is currently 48 years old. The gentlemen in question from the film is at least 50ish years old in 1992 when this film was made.

Underneath his name on IMDB there is a link that says Camera and Electrical Department. He has a long list of credits for films he worked on behind the scenes - mostly as Key Grip. Under the Actor link it only list A League of Their Own. They must have given him a bit part in this movie for some reason. He continued working as Key Grip until the year 2000.

Do you mean Marla Hooch? I only remember her having a dad that played a part in the movie.

Doris' dad only shows up during the last game of the world series. He's the guy buying tickets off the scalper talking about taking his daughter out to a stake dinner after the game.
