Veronica Mars alum Ryan Hansen is heading to The Mindy Project this season in a very curious guest starring role.

The actor, who recently had a recurring role on 2 Broke Girls and will appear later this month in Bad Santa 2, will be playing the Mindy title character as a white man in an episode star-creator Mindy Kaling previously teased: “I love the idea that something happens to Mindy that is really sexist, and then she wakes up the next morning as a white man," she said back in August during the Television Critics Association summer press tour.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Mindy will spar with someone at work, prompting her to wish she were a white male instead. When she wakes up the next day, her wish has come true and she is now Michael Lancaster, played by Hansen, of course.

Hansen isn't the only star of a past cult favorite series making a guest appearance on Mindy during its fifth season. Happy Endings' Casey Wilson is also set to show up in the near future.

New episodes of The Mindy Project premiere Tuesdays on Hulu.
