This is Us Adds SVU Alum as Randall's Work Rival

Hari Dhillon (Law & Order: SVU) is joining the cast as a "workplace rival" of Randall's (Sterling K. Brown), TVLine reports. The announcement of Dhillon's casting comes fresh off the show's three Golden Globe nominations.

Randall's storyline has largely centered so far on his personal and family issues. We do know that Randall's job is trading commodity futures based on weather patterns, so with a rival cropping up at work we can confidently predict storms ahead!
