Comedian Patton Oswalt will be lending his talents to FX’s Justified for a major story arc in the shows upcoming fourth season. TVLine reported that Oswalt will appear on the FX series as Bob Sweeney, a local constable who went to high school with Raylan and has been hired by the lawman to watch Arlo’s house.
Just in cases anyone thinks that Oswalt will be giving a more subdued performance for this visit to Harlan County you should know that Bob has a single football tale he tells over and over from his high school glory days while a bid to help Raylan capture a bail jumper is humorous — and maybe even successful.
Oswalt’s prior TV credits include Two and a Half Men, The United States of Tara, Caprica, Dollhouse and a run on King of Queens. Production on Justified Season 4 starts next week in Santa Clarita, Calif., with an expected 2013 premiere.
