EXCLUSIVE: It’s a mini The West Wing reunion on the set of Perfect Harmony. Joshua Malina is reteaming with fellow West Wing alum Bradley Whitford for a guest role on Whitford’s NBC comedy series Perfect Harmony.

Malina will play Torsten VanBlaricum in an upcoming episode, a judge of the “Conley Fork’s Finest” pageant who sits next to Arthur and gradually reveals himself to be eccentric. A former winner of this very pageant, Torsten looks back fondly on his pageant years as the best of his life. He encourages the boys and girls currently competing to “cherish this special time” and takes his judging duties very seriously. Torsten’s interest in the pageant extends to a podcast he hosts in which he interviews other “finest boys” from the pageant’s history. Torsten would kill for the chance to compete again, which he almost gets.
