Mr. Leighton is Brock's father.
Brock's relationship with his father was not a pleasant one. Mr Leighton was always pushing Brock toward academic excellence and viewed any diversion from the goal as a waste of effort.
He was particularly opposed to Brock's musical aspirations, even when they got performances at prestigious events.[1]
Another example was when Brock was writing and directing a play[2], he dismissed it as a waste of time, ordering him to go home to do his math homework.
Although he was eventually won over when Brock's play received a standing ovation, in which he participated.
So, it is possible that he will approve of non-academic activities on the provision that public recognition of talent is involved. This would suggest that he is driving his son to be a high-achiever, regardless of whatever the achievement is.
