EXCLUSIVE: First Look: Meet Security Guard Chang on "Community"

"Community" fans know this better than anyone: Ben Chang is crazy, y'all.
Ken Jeong's twisted character went from Senor Spanish teacher to study group stalker to possible daddy of Shirley's baby (thank god little Ben Bennett was born black and tail-less), but we've got the exclusive first look of him in his new role: Greendale security guard.
Instead of still trying to be one of the gang, it sounds like Chang will be using his new-found power over the Human Beings to try to scare them into hanging out with him again. Or maybe he's taken the search for Annie's Boobs just a bit too far.
In an interview with Vulture, creator Dan Harmon teased a bit about Chang's frightening new position of authority:
"We have a story line that will detail his rise to power. I wanted to tell a story of acquiring power and what it does to you. It's a little 'Macbeth' or 'Scarface.' Or maybe something from 'The Wire.'"
He then went on to say that Chang's guard duties will actually make the campus less secure (again -- he's insane), but that it will provide us with a cool genre spoof early on with a noir-style episode.
