His career as an author may have been the inspiration for Elaine to grow up and work as an editor at Pendant Publishing and later as a writer for the J. Peterman Catalog.
Alton is a generally an intimidating man, and often makes people uncomfortable with his angry demeanor. In “The Jacket”, Jerry and George met Alton, who proceeds to refer to George as "chorus boy" for his singing "Master of the House", from Les Miserables.
He also compared Jerry to his tail-gunner friend from Korea. He also causes Jerry to ruin his suede jacket by not letting him turn it inside out for the snow.
He also has an unusual quirk of believing everyone is gay. He also doesn't seem to respect Elaine's work, as he forgets that she is working at Pendant Publishing despite her telling him multiple times.
