Background
Played by D. W. Moffett, John is the father of Bay and Toby Kennish, but the biological father of Daphne Vasquez. He used to play professional baseball and he and Daphne share a love for athletics. This leads him to press Daphne too hard to succeed on her high school basketball team, and she snaps at him for it.

They frequently socialize during the Kennishes' fundraiser in "Dance Amongst Daggers", which makes Kathryn become possessive of John.
