Ian Hawke

"Dave, we go way back. We both come a long way since college. You, not so much. I wanted to like that song, but, you heard it... not that good. If I wasn't your friend, I'd say, "Dave, you go right back out of this office and you keep writing music, you'll get there someday." But I am your friend, so I'm going to tell you that there is no sense in writing songs that no one is ever, ever, going to sing."

Ian Hawke is Dave's old boss of JETT Records from the first three Alvin and the Chipmunks films.

He was the sole villain in Alvin and the Chipmunks and the main villain in Alvin and the Chipmunks The Squeakquel. He was going to be the main villain in Alvin and the Chipmunks Chipwrecked, but this was the plot to reveal that Zoe is the true villain later on.

He is portrayed by David Cross.
