Phil Dunphy from Modern Family
Just have a look at Phil's-osophy!
1
Rick Castle from Castle
They read together, they laugh together, they dress up for Halloween together, they play games together, sometimes Rick is the kid and Alexis is the parent, sometimes he's overly protective, but mostly they love and support each other like no other.
7
George Banks from Father of the Bride
The most lovable father from films (and uncannily similar to my own dad!) - you can't not adore George Banks.
3
Indiana Jones
Not just the best archaeologist/adventurer around, he's also a cool dad!
4
Derek Shepherd from Grey's Anatomy
Let's face it, McDreamy got a LOT dreamier when his daughter came along.
5
Homer Simpson from The Simpsons
He doesn't exactly set a good example, but Homer is loyal to Marge and will do just about anything for his children (even if it takes some convincing from his wife).
6
Mr. Weasley from the Harry Potter series
A man of courage and full of love - treats all his kids just the same and what's more, even takes in Harry without batting an eye! A great dad, this one!
8
Mufasa from The Lion King
The great king of the jungle and an even greater father to Simba!
9
Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead
He would do anything to protect his son, and vice versa.
10
Tony Micelli from Who's the boss?
He is sweet, he is caring, he is considerate but if you mess with his (not so) little daughter he'll break your bones.
11
Danny, Jesse and Joey from Full House
Wouldn't be fair to just tout Danny Tanner as the best dad, they were all wonderful father figures in the girls' lives!
12
Gru from Despicable Me
Gru: [reading the book he wrote] One big unicorn, strong and free, thought he was happy as he could be. Then three little kittens came around and turned his whole life upside down. They made him laugh, they made him cry. He never should have said goodbye. And now he knows he can never part from those three little kittens that changed his heart.
