Jake Johnson (New Girl) has joined the cast of ABC's new fall drama Stumptown, starring Cobie Smulders. He will replace Mark Webber who played the role in the pilot.
Based on the Stumptown graphic novel series, Stumptown follows Dex Parios (Cobie Smulders) – a strong, assertive and sharp-witted army veteran with a complicated love life, gambling debt and a brother to take care of in Portland, Oregon. Her military intelligence skills make her a great PI, but her unapologetic style puts her in the firing line of hardcore criminals and not quite in alliance with the police.
Johnson’s Grey McConnell is Dex’s best friend, though the two have unresolved feelings that run deeper. He owns and operates a popular bar in town, all the while hiding a questionable past that comes back to bite him.
