Walter Kellogg - Jeffrey Jones starred as Walter Kellogg, a widower with two children who made his living drawing a "FarSide" style comic strip called "The People Next Door" on the sitcom THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR/CBS/1989. Gifted with a strange psychic ability, he tried to explain his gift to fiancée, Abigail McIntyre (Mary Gross) saying "I can make things appear or come to life just by imaging them." One of the characters from his fantasy world was Mr. Id, a lecherous little man in a trench coat who popped out of the woodworks when Walter was having lustful thoughts. Needless to say, his house was continually filled with all sorts of weird creatures and personalities, including Steve Allen playing piano in the middle of his living room.
