TVLine has earned exclusively that the onetime 24 POTUS and insurance pitchman will appear in Episode 9 as Russ Bradley Morrison, a straight-laced man who, with Malin Akerman’s titular Kate, chaperones a school field trip to the museum.
Along the way, Russ will get ensnared in one of Kate’s matchmaking endeavors.

In addition to his term as President David Palmer, Haysbert’s TV credits include The Unit, Now and Again and CBS’ Rainn Wilson-fronted pilot Backstrom (which failed to make the Eye’s 2013-14 schedule).
Trophy Wife airs its third episode next Tuesday at 9:30/8:30c.
