Inside Out[]
Bill Andersen is the father of Riley Andersen, and the husband of Jill Andersen. He is responsible for his family having to move to San Francisco when he goes there to work for a start-up company called Brang.
When they arrived in San Francisco, they learned that the moving van wouldn't be there until Thursday, leaving them without most of their belongings. He started arguing with his wife about it until Riley broke up the fight by starting a game of paper ball hockey. The game was interrupted when Dad's phone rang and he had to leave to go to work.
Dad was busy often as they adjusted to their new lives in San Francisco, keeping him away from his family. On Riley's first day to school, Mom and Dad sent her off by acting like monkeys to say goodbye.
At the end of the day, as they ate dinner, Mom noticed a change in Riley's mood and tried to signal to Dad to get him to help her probe Riley for information about her day. Dad misunderstood the signals and asked how school was, not realizing Mom had already asked. When Riley yelled at Dad, he sent her to her room. Dad came up to Riley's room to talk to her, but was unable to get her to respond to him. He decided to give her time.
One day, Mom and Dad came home and discovered that Riley was missing. They called her school and learned she'd never showed up. They tried to think about what she was wearing that day when she left, but as they talked about it, Riley came in. She admitted that she'd been trying to run away back to Minnesota. Then she confessed how she was struggling with being in San Francisco because of how she missed Minnesota. Mom and Dad told her they missed Minnesota as well and they shared happy memories.
A year later, Mom and Dad celebrated as Riley played hockey with her new team, the Fog Horns, including full face paint.
Riley's First Date?[]
Bill was confused and cautious when Jordan came to their house to pick up Riley. He was suspicious of Jordan's intentions and tried to intimidate him. However, when he learned that Jordan was in a band, they bonded over that and their mutual love of AC/DC. They were playing air guitar together when Riley and Mom came downstairs. They then saw Jordan and Riley off and kissed.
