EXCLUSIVE: Geoff Stults (Little Fires Everywhere) is set for a key recurring role in ABC’s The Company You Keep, starring and executive produced by Milo Ventimiglia.

The Company You Keep is based on the Korean format My Fellow Citizens that ran for more than 30 episodes on KBS2. It follows con man Charlie (Milo Ventimiglia) and undercover CIA officer Emma (Catherine Haena Kim). A night of passion leads to love between the pair, who unknowingly are on a collision course professionally. While Charlie ramps up the “family business” so he can get out for good, Emma’s closing in on the vengeful criminal who holds Charlie’s family debts in hand — forcing them to reckon with the lies they’ve told so they can save themselves and their families from disastrous consequences.

More from Deadline

Stults will play Simon Norris in a substantial arc that will play out over upcoming episodes. Simon is Birdie Nicoletti’s (Sarah Wayne Callies) ex and absentee father of Ollie. Handsome, charismatic and from a wealthy East Coast family, Simon once had the New York art scene in the palm of his hands. Now a recovering addict, Simon’s worked hard to put his life back together and become the kind of man who’s worthy of being in Birdie and Ollie’s life. When Birdie comes to him for help, Simon assists in a dangerous heist that could put his whole career at risk, but he’ll do whatever he can to prove to Birdie he’s really changed.
