Remember the Joe Pesci character from the Lethal Weapon movies and how he was a big pain for Riggs and Murtaugh? Well, look who’s about to bring back the hurt for the small-screen reboot.
EW can exclusively reveal that Thomas Lennon will assume the role of Leo Getz, the ambulance-chasing lawyer who looks to squeeze every drop out of each petty crime. Leo will show up opposite Riggs (Clayton Crawford) and Murtaugh (Damon Wayans) in the Feb. 15 episode.
For now, Lennon is only set to appear in one episode as Leo, who first showed up in Lethal Weapon 2 in 1989. After all, he’s still got a full-time gig on that other primetime reboot, The Odd Couple.
Lethal Weapon airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.

Get ready, NCIS: Los Angeles fans: you’re about to meet the culprit who’s been raising hell for G, Sam, and other members of the unit that hunts down baddos who threaten national security.
The CBS drama’s three-part episode kicks off on Jan. 15 and will finally reveal the identity of the mole (or moles!) who have been harming the agents and leaking information about their operation. And now the mole has stooped to a new low: He (or she?) has captured and caged Hetty!
EW has some exclusive, first-look photos of Hetty’s (Linda Hunt) imprisonment and the subsequent mission to rescue her from the second episode, which airs Jan. 29 and is titled “Under Siege.” (The third episode airs in February.)
“It’s zoo-worthy,” LL Cool J (Sam) says of Hetty’s personal prison. “Hetty’s locked in. It’s a trip. It’s freaky.”
