Sarah Wright Olsen (Parks and Recreation, American Made) and newcomer Henry Haber have joined CBS' "Matlock" in recurring roles.

Wright Olsen will play Gwen, an efficiency expert analyzing the firm, and Haber as Hunter, a younger associate from the floater pool who is a total bro.

Showrunner and executive producer Jennie Snyder Urman says that Haber is not joining as a “replacement” for David Del Rio, who was fired from the series in October following an internal investigation by CBS Studios into sexual assault allegations.

His character's (Billy Martinez) exit will be addressed offscreen in upcoming episodes.

Regarding the addition of the new office hire, she revealed, “We’re always bringing in new associates, new people, because we want to give our characters different energies to react to, and different obstacles to overcome. And one thing that we were talking about in the writers’ room that we’ve been wanting to bring in is a bro, like a real bro.”

She added about the new character Hunter, “What will it be like for Olympia [Skye P. Marshall] and Matty [Kathy Bates] to be around a bro? They’ve been with characters that really see them as the pinnacle and do things their way. But what happens when you have somebody who spreads a little bit and shoots a basketball when he wants to have ideas flowing? What is that like in our ladies’ world? And I’ll tell you, it’s funny.”
