Michael Rapaport has landed a key role on Justified Season 5.

According to TV Line, the veteran actor (My Name is Earl, Boston Public, The Mob Doctor) will portray Dale Crowe Jr. on the FX drama, the patriarch of a Florida crime family that causes serious problems for Raylan and company this winter.

Look for Dale to be an ex-convict who runs a gator farm and who is related to Boyd's long-time dim-witted pal Dewey.

Earlier this month, Jere Burns was upgraded to series regular, meaning we'll be seeing a lot more of his slick, shady and hilarious Wynn Duffy.

Justified will return with new episodes in early 2014.
