Mr. Laritate is an administrator at Tribeca Prep, the high school that Alex and Justin attend on the series Wizards of Waverly Place (2007). He is played by Bill Chott, and named after the character Larry Tate from the series Bewitched (1964), played by David White, and reprized in the 2005 movie of the same name by Jim Turner.This inside joke is evidence that Disney Channel is well aware of the fact that many of its shows, although intended for children and tweens , are also enjoyed by parents and grandparents. Although the younger viewers may not get the reference, the older viewers not only watch and enjoy the quality and humor, they also appreciate the allusion to classic TV characters from their own younger years.Mr. Laritate has a notable fixation on the American Old West. Although he lacks a southern drawl, his regional origins are yet to be determined. In the episode Alex's Logo, his first name is revealed as Herschel.
