"Breaking Bad" alum Dean Norris will assume the role of Howard Fox, a “rugged and eccentric” individual who comes back into Dina’s life, ready to make amends for leaving her when she was just a child.

(The character was most recently referenced in the Oct. 24 episode “Self-Care,” when Glenn served as a temporary stand-in for Dina’s father.)

“I have been begging our showrunners to let us meet Dina’s dad since Season 1 when we learned that he abandoned her at a gas station when she was a kid,” Lauren Ash said in a statement to TVLine.

“Never in my mind would I have dreamed that I would get to work with the incomparable Dean Norris, who brought so many layers to this character. It was honestly one of the most fulfilling acting experiences of my career having him as my scene partner in this storyline.

I also have to shout out that episode’s director Tristram Shapeero and writer Hailey Chavez, who were very collaborative in letting me explore how to portray this Dina story in a way that felt most honest to me. (That’s probably the most actor-y thing I’ve ever said, but I stand by it.)”

The episode, airing Thursday, Jan. 16 (NBC, 8/7c), will double as a tribute to the late Linda Porter (Myrtle).
