Parenthood has hired a White Collar starlet to man the phones at the Braverman brothers’ new recording studio.

TVLine has learned exclusively that Alexandra Daddario — who has played Neal’s now-and-then girlfriend, Kate, on-and-off over the past three seasons of the USA Network hit — is joining the NBC family drama’s third season. The actress first appears in Episode 8 as Rachel, the new receptionist at Adam (Peter Krause) and Crosby’s (Dax Shepard) new business venture, The Luncheonette.

Parenthood showrunner Jason Katims tells TVLine that Luncheonette’s newest addition “will have an arc for at least several episodes.”

Daddario’s other credits include Percy Jackson & the Olympians, All My Children and the upcoming Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D.
