Tomorrow night’s episode of Fox’s new comedy series Breaking In is not only directed by Fred Savage, but NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson is set to guest star. From what Johnson says, he had a good time with Christian Slater and a hard time not laughing at Michael Rosenbaum.
Breaking In is a new workplace comedy series starring Christian Slater and Bret Harrison, and follows a team of quirky security experts who use some questionable measure to earn clients. This Wednesday night, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson will guest star. He’ll be playing himself in the episode and his role involves his race team needing security assistance.
“It was a very cool experience, and I’m excited to see how this week’s episode turned out,” said Johnson. “Fred Savage was really encouraging and gave me great direction and I had a blast with Christian Slater. I think the hardest part was not laughing at Michael Rosenbaum [who plays character Dutch]. That guy is what you’d call high energy. The whole experience was great. I hope the fans enjoy seeing me do something different, but trust me, I won’t be leaving my day job any time soon.”
Fox states that part of the episode was shot at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California.
Breaking In airs Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
