According to TVLine, Louis CK has signed up to reprise his role on the critically acclaimed NBC comedy Parks and Recreation. The actor and stand-up comedian previously had a mutli-episode arc on the show as cop Dave Sanderson throughout its second season.
A former love interest of the show’s leading lady Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler), Dave left Pawnee to take a job in San Diego. The character is set to reappear in at least one early 2012 Parks episode, potentially vying for Leslie’s attention from her current love interest Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott). Louis CK currently stars in his own FX sitcom Louie, which has been picked up for a third season.
In other Parks and Recreation casting news, former Free Agents star Kathryn Hahn is also set to join the cast in several episodes in 2012. The actress will play a political operative who works for Leslie’s currently unknown competition in the Pawnee city council election.
Parks and Recreation airs on Thursdays at 8.30/7.30c on NBC.
