"It's funny seeing him trying to be the boss while his boss (his wife) is there." That goes on for a few episodes but, Tim being Tim, the experiment meets an inevitable demise. Tim will go to great lengths to cover up hair he accidentally shaves this season, and then, with wife Heather insistent on working at his medical practice, his home life and work life collide. As the sitcom can turn from absurdist to emotional pretty quickly, he, like his castmates, has to ground his character with some gravitas even though he's often really, really dim. Every day you could not wait to see what other cast members would look like."Īs fun as Life in Pieces is, it's challenging he said, as he has to work to be believable. "The hair obviously becomes a big deal," he said. Bakkedahl teased that we'll also see former football player Kurt Warner when the family checks out the Los Angeles Rams, and a "Throwback Thursday" yarn that catches glimpses of the family in the late '90s, in 2005 and in 2013. You'll also see boxing champion Victor Ortiz in the second episode (along with model Jasmine Tookes) in a story that involves John getting owned by his granddaughter Samantha ( Holly J. "It fleshes out the full family more," he said. With the connections and personalities of this big family established, you'll see less reliance on mother-daughter, father-son interactions and more grandparent with grandchild, two brothers-in-law and so on.

Neil Jacobs/CBSĬhemistry between the players is undeniable, and you'll see more of it in Season 2 as storylines criss cross in a way they hadn't before. Greg and Matt Short make awkward discoveries about their father John and brother-in-law Tim on Life in Pieces. I say and do dumb things all the time and they go, 'Dad!' I go, 'Man!

Tim is pretty much a lovable doofus with a knack for corny dad jokes: a skill the actor uses in real life, too.
