The Office star
Oscar Nunez celebrates his 51st birthday on Nov. 18, and what a present he’s received from NBC!! The actor, who plays gay office worker Oscar Martinez, has been given a hunky new love interest who looks just like a younger version of
Private Practice’s Tim Daly. And for good reason. Tim’s 25-year-old, look-alike son Sam will debut on the Dec. 10 episode of the NBC comedy as Oscar’s new younger beau. “He looks like Tim, except he has blonde hair,” reports the clearly-smitten Oscar. “He’s six foot tall and really nice.”
Oscar teases that Sam’s character, Matt, is a new worker at the company, and may return since his introduction went over so well. “It’s a very funny episode, so he might come back a couple times for an arc.” suspects Oscar.
And how does Oscar feel about essentially playing a male cougar? “Well, obviously he is younger,” he acknowledges. But it may take awhile before Oscar’s co-workers – specifically Michael (
Steve Carell) - get to use this information against him. “I’m not sure if people at the office are going to find out about this right away.”
I'm just glad we know that Oscar's getting some long-overdue loving!
