Abe Weissman

Abe Weissman is a character in the Amazon Prime show, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. He is Miriam's father, the maternal grandfather of Ethan and Esther Maisel, the husband of Rose, and the ex-father-in-law of Joel.

He is portrayed by Tony Shalhoub.

Abe can be a rather scrutinizing man. He tends to judge everything upon first sight; a characteristic that lends in the comicality of the character. He appears to be rather protective of his daughter Midge, especially when she goes out on her comedy gigs—sometimes staying up all night to wait for her to return.

Abe seems to have somewhat of a strict and no-nonsense demeanor but he cares deeply about his family.
