Hollywood continues to misstep in its Asian representation (looking at you, Ghost in the Shell) but Julie Klausner's humble Hulu comedy Difficult People gets things right and announced today it will add John Cho as Billy's Eichner's boyfriend.

In a release, Hulu described Cho's character Todd as an advertising executive who is "as much of a dick as Billy and Julie (Julie Klausner)." They meet in an escalating prank war and start dating, which will undoubtedly impact Billy and Julie's close friendship.

Cho is currently tied to several film projects, including the next Star Trek movie, and has guest starred on House of Lies, Drunk History and The Mindy Project, among others. His tragically cancelled television show Selfie aired in 2014 and he's also the star of the beautiful hashtag campaign #StarringJohnCho.

Difficult People Season 3 will stream on Hulu this summer.
