Mitchum Huntzberger is the father of Logan and Honor Huntzberger and the husband of Shira Huntzberger. He is a big-shot in the newspaper industry and is very wealthy. He is actually not a bad person and can be nice. He treated Rory better than his father and wife did when they all first met her in Season 5. He offers Rory an internship at the Stamford Gazette, but eventually he tells her he doesn't think she "has what it takes." He takes it back in Season 7, and tells her he would be willing to help her get any job she wanted at any newspaper she liked.
