Oscar can be distinguished from George by his flowing hair, due to lack of stress in his life. He is a frequent user of marijuana and other recreational drugs. His only notable achievement in life was writing a song that made Joan Baez call him "the shallowest man in show business". It was often hinted that he is probably the biological father of Buster in season 2. Eventually, it is revealed that he is Buster's father.

In the second season finale, George Sr. shaves Oscar's head and turns him in. The stress of being imprisoned and mistaken for George Sr. has caused Oscar's hair to not grow back. This, paired with the fact that his fingerprints were burned off, prevents him from establishing his true identity.

To try to convince the world of his true identity, Oscar set up www.imoscar.com, a blog of sorts that details his life in prison while continually asserting that he is, in fact, Oscar. A real-life version of the site is maintained by Fox Broadcasting. http://www.imoscar.com
