Goodman, who's currently appearing on Damages, will play Dean Laybourne, a new Dean to Greendale. He will appear in six episodes.
Creator Dan Harmon recently told TVGuide.com that Goodman's character would be "somewhat kind of a dark figure on campus," but other details about the character were not immediately available. In particular, it remains unclear what Goodman's casting means for Jim Rash's Dean Pelton.

ReplyDeleteWow he's now in 2 of my favorite shows!
This season is shaping up to be epic.
ReplyDeleteI am catching up season 2 and Dean Pelton is hilarious, I don't wanna see him go.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean Dean Pelton is now going to be a student?
ReplyDeleteDan Connor is going to be on Community? Awesome!
ReplyDeleteHaha, is this Dan Harmon's response to the Emmy Snubs? Casting well-known, respected actors to bring some prize-attention to the show? Seems great.
ReplyDeleteI find myself oddly excited about this. Will be interesting to see what "a dark figure on campus" means. I'm getting visions of a bigger, less pink Umbridge or community college as mafia front vibe.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is the start of some sort of faculty cabal with John Goodman, Michael K Williams, and Kevin Corrigan. :)
ReplyDeleteI really love Community's stunt casting...
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Just when I think the show can't get any cooler, they hire the coolest person in the world and prove me wrong....
ReplyDeleteYes! Dan Connor, Omar, and Sam Weiss. What a trio!
ReplyDeleteDoubtful. Many colleges have more than one dean. And we already have a spoiler talking about "the vice-dean of Greendale's air conditioning repair annex will be a recurring character in season
ReplyDelete3", so maybe that's Goodman's character.
Sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteTotally unexpected and 100% awesome!
ReplyDeleteNice :D
