CBS has a male lead for its workplace comedy pilot from How I Met Your Mother creators Craig Thomas and Carter Bays.
Veronica Mars alum Ryan Hansen has been cast opposite Rebecca Rittenhouse (The Mindy Project) in Real Life, though he is only attached to guest-star, seeing as the sitcom is mulling a shift in focus should it be ordered to series.
Written by Hilary Winston (Community) and directed by Pam Fryman (HIMYM), the project is said to chronicle the relationship of Drew and Nora, two twentysomethings who go from being co-workers on opposite coasts to working in the same office.
Hansen, best known to audiences for his role as Dick Casablancas on Veronica Mars, has recurring role on CBS’ 2 Broke Girls (where Candy Andy next pops up on Monday, April 10). He also had roles in CHIPS and Central Intelligence movies.
