Coach Lawrence is Arcadia Oaks High's gym teacher.

History

Part Two (Trollhunters)

It was revealed in the episode "Creepslayerz," that he is now Steve’s stepfather, much to the latter’s displeasure.

Physical Appearance

Lawrence is buff and has a brown mustache. He wears typical gym teacher clothes such as sweatpants, a T-shirt, and a red hat.

Personality

Lawrence appears to be your tough-surly gym leader stereotype, but he also tries his best to emotionally connect with Steve as his new stepson. He isn't a very good class teacher, though, because he ends up as a substitute, and lets the class watch Gun Robot 3.

Relationships

Steve Palchuk

Coach Lawrence is also trying his best to prove himself as a worthy father figure to Steve, but he's not being good at it, because he almost always reveals embarrassing things about Steve at school. Although their relationship somewhat improves after Steve saves Lawrence from his Gravesand curse, Steve is still kind of embarrassed to be around him.

Steve's mother

Mrs. Palchuk is Coach Lawrence's new wife. They clearly love each other and Lawrence even defends his wife after she and Steve get into an argument.

Trivia

• In the episode "Return of the Trollhunter", Coach Lawrence asks his students what happened in 1989 while filling in for Mr. Srickler's history class (claiming he doesn't remember it since it was a crazy year). This could be a reference to his voice actor, Tom Wilson, portraying Biff Tannen in the Back to the Future franchise and was the main antagonist in Part 2 (which was released in theatres in 1989).
• In the episode "The Reckless Club", Coach Lawrence was in the 1972 yearbook with Ms. Janeth. Making him at least 60 years old.
