As the father of the film’s protagonist, Riley, he plays a vital role in the emotional journey depicted in the movie. Set primarily within Riley’s mind, Inside Out explores the complex emotions of an 11-year-old girl navigating a major life change—moving from Minnesota to San Francisco.

Riley’s Dad is a caring and supportive parent who, along with Riley’s Mom, is trying to balance the stress of the family’s relocation with the challenges of raising a preteen. Although he means well, his struggle to adjust to a new job and city sometimes leaves him inadvertently neglecting Riley’s emotional needs. His interactions with her demonstrate the typical ups and downs of parenting, from moments of discipline to heartfelt attempts to connect.

In the film, Riley’s Dad is voiced by Kyle MacLachlan, an actor widely known for his roles in Twin Peaks and Dune.
