TVLine: James Brolin Cast as Jeff’s Dad

This Just In: James Brolin is a (fictional) deadbeat dad. Multiple sources confirm to TVLine exclusively that Community has cast the Emmy winning acting vet as Jeff Winger’s estranged father. He’ll make his debut in quirky NBC comedy’s Thanksgiving episode. Joel McHale first hinted at the casting via Twitter Tuesday morning when he posted a pic of the two on set together.
