Bob Balaban Facts
He is described as a "mega-hunk" in "The Simpsons: A Star Is Born Again (#14.13)" (2003).

Uncle Barney Balaban, president of Paramount Pictures from 1936 to 1964, was one of the movie magnates who attended the Waldorf Conference in 1946, in which the blacklist against communists was implemented. A deeply religious man, when asked by his daughter about his complicity with the blacklist, Balaban told her, "I don't think it's okay. There's something about it that's okay, but there's something about it that's terrible, and I don't quite understand it all yet".

Cousin of director Burt Balaban and Judy Balaban. Nephew of Barney Balaban.
