Ryan Hansen has joined the cast of Walsh’s new NBC comedy Bad Judge as a series regular, TVLine has learned.

The Veronica Mars vet will play Gary, a psychiatrist who has an on-again, off-again relationship with Walsh’s hard-living, sexually unapologetic judge, Rebecca.

Hansen — who is set to reprise his role of Dick C in the CW’s upcoming web-based Veronica Mars spin-off — replaces Bones‘ Mather Zickel, who portrayed Gary in the pilot but left the project for creative reasons.

Bad Judge premieres Thursday, Oct. 2 on NBC.

    Wasn’t he the same actor who also played Candy Andy on 2 Broke Girls?

    So, he’s going from ‘Bad Teacher’ to ‘Bad Judge?’ I like Ryan, but unfortunately for him, I don’t see this show lasting any length of time either. Maybe he should stay away from “bad” occupational shows…

      Kate Walsh is 46, Ryan Hansen is 33. You’re right, though I have nothing against this. Hollywood does it with older men and younger women all the time so a little bit of the reverse is a nice change of pace. Plus it’s totally believable, ’cause Kate Walsh is still plenty hot.

    Love Ryan! Hope this show lasts longer than his other gigs so far. Loved every single show he’s been on since Party Down . He was great in Bad Teacher!

    Hopefully Rob Thomas can still get Ryan to guest star on iZombie. Although I don’t really see Bad Judge sticking around until mid season.

    All the negative comments about this show surprise me. There are some very successful folks behind this show. Adam McKay, Will Ferrell, Anne Heche, Jill Sobel, Kevin Messick, Liz Brixius, for instance.

    That said, If Mather Zickel left this for creative reasons, you can bet it was not of his own volition. So, why identify Zickel with Bones, when he was only in 3 episodes in 2013?
