EXCLUSIVE: Lauren Graham’s estranged husband on Parenthood is undergoing an extreme makeover. United States of Tara co-star John Corbett has booked a multi-episode arc on NBC’s sophomore drama as Seth, Sarah’s recovering alcoholic-musician ex and the father to Amber and Drew. Darin Heames (Sons of Anarchy) originated the role in the Parenthood pilot, although the character hasn’t been seen since. Seth attempts to reconnect with his family while in town to perform a few shows with his band. His arrival is slated to coincide with Parenthood’s move to Mondays at 10 pm in early March. Corbett just completed work on season 3 of Showtime’s Tara. Michael Ausiello will be contributing to Deadline.com and Movieline.com as he preps for the launch of TVLine.com, a new TV-centric website from MMC.


Best show on NBC, yep.
Best show on the major four, probably.
Keep it up!
Really good call, love John! And yes, this is the best show from NBC right now. Way better than that Brothers & Sisters, it’s really boring now.
Thank you, I feel exactly the same way. Lately, it’s been really hard for me to get through an episode of Brothers & Sisters without wanting to turn it off. Parenthood has been really fun to watch so far, love the characters and the family dynamics. Having John join the cast makes it even better!
parenthood is a great show…and I think he is well casted!
Good casting but what happened to the original Seth, why couldn’t Darin Heames do the part? Is he too busy with SOA?
I adore this show.
Parenthood is a great show and I guess recastinga role is commonplace on tv especially when they’re trying to drum up ratings by casting a celebrity to play the role previously played by a less known actor.
Well Casted?? Oh Brother.
Outstanding! Parenthood is a wonderful show, probably one of the best on net TV. And John Corbett will be a great addition to it. Good casting choice.
Lmao, um… yeah that’s a definite recasting.John is a giant.
This is absolutely spot-on casting. Excellent choice, NBC!
anything with john corbett consider me in.
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST SHOW ON TELEVISION RIGHT NOW. LOVE LOVE LOVE THE SHOW. LOVE JOHN TOO….
