It's unclear if Artie's dad will also appear in the episode, but McHale named Harry Connick Jr. as his top pick for the part at Comic-Con. Now that we know Connick isn't Benson's mystery man on Law & Order: SVU, it does look like he has some free time. We'll have to see if lightning strikes twice when it comes to McHale's keen casting eye.
