After the premature cancellation of "Legit," Dan Bakkedahl made guest appearances on "Californication" and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" before landing a recurring role on "The Mindy Project." Bakkedahl appeared on seven episodes across Seasons 3 and 4 as Dr. Adrian Bergdahl, who replaces Dr. Peter Prentice (Adam Pally) at the Lahiri Medical Clinic.
Dr. Bergdahl does not mesh well with the rest of the staff at the clinic, stealing bagels from the break room in Season 3, Episode 18, "Fertility Bites" and offending his co-workers with his offensive body odor and boorish manner.
"Yes, Dr. Bergdahl is gruff, and he is rude," Dr. Lahiri (Mindy Kaling) says, "but you know who else is? Chris Christie, and he's our vice president."
Perhaps the writer who penned that line had a crystal ball in which they could see Bakkedahl's next role, which came on an Emmy-winning hit comedy series.
