Parks and RecreationalumNick Offermanis set to joinSeth Rogenin Hulu’s limited seriesPam & Tommy, which concerns the theft and distribution of the infamous sex tape starring celebrity couplePamela AndersonandTommy Lee.
Offerman will playMilton Ingley, aka Uncle Miltie, a burly, pipe-smoking porn impresario who revels in his larger-than-life stature. Uncle Miltie is “the money guy” who helps electricianRand Gauthier(Seth Rogen) distribute his former employers' sex tape. A borderline sociopath, he treads a fine line between humorous and horrific – which sounds like a fun character for Offerman to play, especially alongside Rogen.
Hulu is calling Offerman’s role a “fractional series regular” and referring to the celebrity sex tape as “the first-ever viral video in history,” which is a clever way of framing it from a marketing perspective. Doing so practically makes the sex tape a flashpoint in pop culture that served as a harbinger of things to come, from the rise of YouTube to the ongoing phenomenon that is the Kardashian family.

Since his beloved turn as Ron Swanson on NBC’sParks and Recreation, Offerman has gone on to star in FX’sFargoandDevs. Both of those shows are available to stream on Hulu, making thePam & Tommyseries something of a homecoming for the mustachioed actor, who currently voices one of the main characters on Fox’s animated seriesThe Great North.
Offerman has also picked up a pair of Emmy nominations for his work as the host and executive producer ofMaking Iton NBC. The actor’s feature credits include21 Jump Street,The LEGO Movie,The FounderandBad Times at the El Royale. He’s represented by UTA.
