who plays the lawyer in parks and rec
List of Parks and Recreation characters Justin Anderson (Justin Theroux) is a lawyer and long-time friend of Ann who briefly dated Leslie. He is very charming,[105] regularly travels around the world and has done many extravagant things, such as mountain climbing.[106] He loves telling entertaining stories, and sometimes seems less interested in the people around him than he is in listening to and learning new stories.[107][108] Justin and Ann never dated, but she seems to secretly harbor romantic feelings for him,[13][77] something that caused difficulties between Ann and Andy when they were dating.[13][105] Justin first appears in "The Set Up", when he provided legal advice to the Parks and Recreation department, and Leslie developed a romantic interest in him. She asks Ann to set them up, but she hesitated to do so, prompting Mark to accuse her of still having feelings for Justin. Ann finally sets up a date,[13][77] and the two start dating regularly. Impressed by Justin's worldliness, Leslie was so determined to impress him with a house party that, in "Leslie's House", she abused her government power by recruiting town employees to provide entertainment.[109][110] Justin made his final appearance in "Galentine's Day", when Justin and Leslie tried to find Frank Beckerson, the long-lost love of Leslie's mother Marlene, and reunite the two. Upon finding him, Leslie quickly realized Frank is too strange and tried to call the plan off, but Justin insisted on going through with it. After the evening ends disastrously, Ron points out to Leslie that Justin is a selfish person who only cares about getting more stories, so she breaks up with him.[107] Tom, who strongly admired Justin's hipness and idolized him, became extremely disappointed by the break-up and reacted like a child whose parents are divorcing.[97][109]
