BB's tweet today reminded me that during his last twitterfest he mentioned that his dad's name is "Fred".

Seems like his father is a well-known physician, former municpal councillor and community activist in Vancouver - by way of NYC (where he's originally from), Ohio (school) and Baltimore (school, & where BB was born) - there's a lengthy bio in Wikipedia, plus here's a link to an article with an image: http://vancouvernotvegas.ca/2011/04/dr-fred-bass-opposes-casino-expansion/

BTW, as a physician, he's a specialist in "anti-smoking", which probably means that BB has more than his wife to contend with when he wants to smoke a cigar, or anything else!!
OMG, the Clooney parallels are killing me. Doesn't Mr. Bass, Sr. look kind of like George Clooney's dad? Who was a journalist, not a doctor, but did run for office a few years back. (As soon as I heard he was a doctor, I figured the Baltimore connection must have meant he must have gone to Johns Hopkins) Thanks for sharing that, Hawley. Very interesting. No wonder Ben seems like he has more substance than a lot of actors.

He definitely looks like his Dad! I always find it hilarious when parents are like super anti-smoking and then their kids smoke anyway (I'm really not sure why... something about picturing the look on people's faces when people do the exact opposite of what they want). I'm weird. :haha: :haha:

Here's more, all info shared on social media:

Dr. Fred Bass's myspace account (anyone remember myspace?!? :wink: ) includes:

Fred is married to Roma Dehr. Their blended family includes Roma's two grown children, Thor Dehr and Zoe Curylo-Dehr, and grandchild Ché, and Fred's two grown children, Jennifer Johnson and Ben Bass. Roma and Fred have also welcomed numerous other young people into their home over the years. Fred's hobbies are cross-country skiing, hiking, music and walking the dogs, Little Dog and Frisco Jake. With his friend Orest Dal Santo, Fred served on the first cross-country ski patrol at Cypress Bowl and subsequently in the North Shore Rescue Group. His love of Brazilian music led him to join Celso Machado's Batucada BC

His Facebook page includes his love of Classical (shades of BB?) and Salsa music! RB's Brazilian fans might appreciate his musical choices from the blurb above!

See his Facebook page & Twitter account (dormant since 2009) for other photos that show the family resemblance!

I actually don't consider casual cigar smokers as real "smokers" though. Even though it smells just as bad IMO.

Well he was also smoking that pipe in some fan pictures so I wasn't sure if he's casual like once a week or once a day haha. Though he seems health conscious so it would surprise me if he smoked really often.

First wanted to say the couPle of tweets from Ben the other day were a great pick me up amist all this hurricane sadness and drama.

Thanks for all that info on his dad. I thought it was really really interesting to read about how well educated and respected his dad is. Clearly Ben and his father have a love of music in common. His dad also has a LinkedIn page with, what seems like it can be, a recent pic of him. It says he is 77 and all the history on his career still shows him working and involved in politics through 2005. I'm sure he is a very proud dad.

I tried to find him on Facebook but there were lots of Fred bass's and I couldn't find him. Will look him up on twitter now.

@LAwoman yes! I get what you mean. BB's dad and Nick Clooney (George Clooney's dad) show a lot of parallelism.

Actually when I watched The Descendants I completely saw the resemblance between George and Ben in the mouth/chin area

Oh my gosh I never really noticed the similarities between Clooney and Ben. That's amazing. And SAFan you're totally right, they do have very very similar mouth/chin features!
How neat =)

Mr Bass seems to be an awesome person! And he has great musical preferences. :D

Thanks, Hawley, for all this info.
