Probably what Hansen is most known for is his role in the teen drama "Veronica Mars," which started all the way back in 2004. Starring Kristen Bell as the title character, "Veronica Mars" focuses on Veronica's investigation into the death of her best friend, played in flashbacks by Amanda Seyfried. While Season 1 is centered around this mystery, the series has two more seasons that feature a young Veronica working as a private investigator on both small and big cases. Hansen stars in the series as the character Dick Casablancas, the womanizer best friend of Veronica's main love interest, Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring). While Dick is quite the bully in Season 1, he definitely learns and grows as a person over the seasons.
After "Veronica Mars" initially ended in 2007, the fans continued to push for more seasons or a movie. Soon enough, they got their wish, with original series creator Rob Thomas starting a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the movie — and it was successful. In 2014, the "Veronica Mars" film came out, featuring an older Veronica investigating the death of a former high school classmate who people think was murdered by her ex-boyfriend, Logan. Hansen appears in the film, and just when he thought he was done with Dick, the television series was brought back again for a fourth season on Hulu in 2019. The streamer unfortunately did not renew "Veronica Mars" for a fifth season.
