Description

He is a progressive parent, encouraging Nancy's independence and self-reliance. He often enlists the help of his daughter for many of his cases, and he often assists her in many of her cases, offering guidance both professionally and as a father.

He also makes good use of his professional connections and privileges to help Nancy solve her cases. He frequently leaves Nancy to her sleuthing while he travels on business (throughout the book series, he frequently goes away on business trips). On numerous occasions, Nancy has had to save her father from danger, including several kidnappings. Mr. Drew is always proud of Nancy when she has solved, and finished a case.

In films

In the films of the 1930s he is played by John Litel. In the films Carson Drew is a far more patrician and authoritarian figure than in the books. In the 2007 film he was played by Tate Donovan.
