Arwin Hawkhauser

[Esteban’s Wife]

Arwin Quentin Hawkhauser (Brian Stepanek) is the crazy 34-year-old inventor who works as an engineer for the Tipton and holds his socks up with duct tape. He has a crush on Carey, as shown in many episodes but is afraid to act upon it. Arwin coaches Zack and Cody's basketball team. He hates carrots and is allergic to horses, as shown in Free Tippy. In Kisses & Basketball, Bowling, and Going for the Gold, Carey kisses him; he fainted each time. It is also shown that he has a picture of Carey in his office that lights up when he claps his hands, as well as a cardboard cutout of her. Arwin was a professional bowler, as illustrated in Bowling. He also is known for being obsessed with his mother; he lived with her for his whole life until she was married and moved out as shown in, The Arwin That Came To Dinner. He stopped bowling because his mother's obsessive cheering (which was actually threats) made him nervous in competition and he accidentally threw the ball and it hit her head (making her shorter by a foot). Arwin is considered childlike by many characters in the show; he enjoys picture books, sleeps with a sock monkey, and eats a lunch packed by his mother.

A spin-off television series was planned about him, where he goes to live with his sister to help her take care of her children. The series name ideas consisted of Arwin! and Housebroken. It was, however, never picked up.
