Michael Kaplan pulls off the role of Angelo's wizeneed adviser as well, his role as pillar of the state clear, while still maintaining a healthy sense of amused boredom with the proceedings.

They do not eat with their employers, but their lives are centered on that house and the behavior of the Streets. Sydney...
...only does he alleviate boredom by constantly varying his workouts, but Eddie is also well known for his sharp wit and his ability to make everyone laugh--especially at himself. Former Harvard swim captain Richard Greer, who trained with Eddie for several years in Florida, says that the coach's contagious zest for life helps his swimmers...
