Parenthood Recruits Office Mate David Denman

Parenthood‘s Joel might want to pay attention to this one: The Office‘s David Denman is joining the NBC drama as someone Julia’s going to get very friendly with in the upcoming fifth season.

Denman’s Ed — a recurring role — will be a newly unemployed stay-at-home dad who bonds with Julia when they both pull a lame volunteer job at their children’s school, E! Online reports.

Given Lost vet Sonya Walger’s previously announced casting as Joel’s Julia-judging co-worker… might the Grahams’ marriage be gearing up for a two-front war?

Denman is best known as Roy, Pam’s belligerent fiance on The Office. His other TV credits include Person of Interest, Drop Dead Diva and Grey’s Anatomy.
