There's a new boss coming to town on Showtime's Episodes.
The Office alum Chris Diamantopoulos has booked a season-long arc on the premium cable network's Matt LeBlanc comedy, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.
Diamantopoulos will play Castor Soto, the new head of the network that airs Pucks, the fictional show within the show. The actor, who played the boom operator Brian on the final season of NBC's The Office, boards Episodes after the show's previous network topper Merc (John Pankow) was fired at the end of season two.
