"New Girl" season 5 recently cast a new lawyer named Daniel who has a thing for Jess (Zooey Deschanel).
The role was given by the producers of the hit FOX sitcom to John Cho.
In "New Girl" season 5 episode 3, Daniel and Jess had an awkward run-in outside of the court room. It was later on revealed that their paths will cross again inside the venue.
While speaking with the network, Cho explained his participation in the series.
"I play Daniel and I play the prosecuting attorney in the case. It seems as though that there are some sparks between them and it comes with shared love for civic duty, and also just me being hot," the actor joked.
"Jess is really excited to be on the jury, but she gets a call from her principal..." Cho added.
In the episode, Jess was left with no other choice but to take the place of the school's principal after the latter suffered from a serious accident.
Meanwhile, Cho revealed that in real life, he wanted to become a lawyer.
"I wanted to become a lawyer when I was in junior high. And now, I'm a lawyer without all those years in law school. And frankly making a lot more money. Ladies?" he joked.
In other news, it is still unclear whether or not fans will see more of Daniel in the upcoming episodes of "New Girl" season 5, according to Zap2It.
By the looks of it, his thing for Jess was obviously just fleeting. While in the court room, the two characters got into several misunderstandings and disagreements because they had difference in their opinions.
Meanwhile, "New Girl" season 5 episode 3 also saw Nick (Jake Johnson) having problems with Cece (Hannah Simone) living in their apartment.
Nick raised some concerns over Cece living habits, and said that she's a pretty messy housemate. Towards the end, Cece and Nick decided to meet halfway for the sake of Schmidt (Max Greenfield).
"New Girl" season 5 airs weekly on Fox, and fans will see Cece and Schmidt tying the knot in the next couple of weeks.
