Characters

Gaylord (Greg) Focker (Ben Stiller): The protagonist of the movie. A nurse living in Chicago with girlfriend (now fiancée) Pam, attempts to marry the daughter of a retired CIA agent, however along the way gets into trouble and mischief. In his childhood, he had his foreskin saved, had a crush on his babysitter Isabel, and often finished in mediocre fashion in competitive events which was displayed in the "Wall of Gaylord" his father built. His father calls him Gay or Gaylord which is a recurring joke within the film.

Little Jack (L.J.) (Spencer & Bradley Pickren): Jack's approximately 1-year-old grandson by his other daughter, Debbie. Jack is grooming him to be a genius using unconventional child rearing methods. He probably has the youngest speaking part in films which manifests in the form of baby sign language and the expletive asshole, which he accidentally picked up from Greg.

Isabel Villalobos (Alanna Ubach): Former housekeeper and babysitter of the Fockers and current owner of a catering business. She had a brief fling with Greg when he was nineteen years old which resulted in Greg losing his virginity to her. This affair led Jack to suspect that Greg may be the father of her child.

Jorge Villalobos (Ray Santiago): The fifteen-year-old son of Isabel, Greg's former babysitter and confidante. He is a mechanical prodigy with a reputation for being able fix anything. Jorge is also a liar, but his most definable attribute is his uncanny resemblance to Greg and the aforementioned person's antics, which leads Jack to believe that Greg is his father. Another recurring joke in the film is that either Greg or Jorge look like a "young, handsome Marlon Brando."
