Tricia Helfer Cast on Community As...

Abed Nadir, you are a very lucky man.

TV Line confirms that Tricia Helfer will guest star on Community Season 4, stopping by our favorite NBC sitcom as Lauren, a huge fan of Inspector Spacetime who meets Abed at a convention for that Doctor Who-like series.

The study group geek will also hang out with a new friend played by Little Britain‘s Matt Lucas at that same event.

Helfer, forever known to many for her role on Battlestar Galactica, most recently guest-starred on the Criminal Minds Season 7 finale.

Community returns on Friday - yes, Friday - October 19 and one main casting question that remains: Who should play Jeff's father?
