Filmography
The Chipmunk Adventure
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Dave was the film's main protagonist, playing the role of the boys' caretaker, although he kept telling them that he was not their father.
Even though their first meeting went off with a bad start, they got along pretty well
However, at the end of the movie, Dave told the Chipmunks that they were a family, so it was confirmed that Dave finally sees himself as a father figure to the boys.
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
Dave has a small role in the film. He is put in the hospital after an accident at the Chipmunks' concert and puts the boys in school. He is rarely seen in the film, but this could possibly be due to Jason Lee's work schedule for "My Name Is Earl" at the time the movie was filmed.
Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked
Dave has a much bigger role in Chipwrecked. Shortly after they board the cruise ship Alvin starts causing problems on the ship such as spilling tanning oil on the decks and Dave gets in trouble for it and tried to apologize for the Alvin's behavior. Dave helps the Chipmunks and Chipettes build a raft to leave the island but then Zoe kidnaps Jeanette and Dave goes to rescue her. After Dave is rescued they head to the beach with the raft and start rowing out to the open sea and are picked up by a helicopter.
