Joey Lauren Adams has landed an unusual, recurring role on season two of The United States of Tara.

The actress, best known for her role in Chasing Amy, will come aboard the Showtime comedy’s second season as Pammy, a humorous and warm bartender that has a history of picking the wrong guys.

Her luck changes - or does it?!? - the day she meets “Buck,” Tara's male alter ego, and falls madly in love.

Adams will appear in at least three episodes of the show's second season, which will air in early 2010.
