"Back in 2000, Nick Offerman was working in a Los Angeles theatre production with  Megan Mullally. He had moved from Chicago and was so broke he didn't have a television, so he hadn't seen her role on ""Will and Grace."" But he was wildly impressed with her talent, so he asked her out and they married three years later. After Offerman learned he was cast as Ron Swanson on ""Parks and Recreation"" after months of tryouts, Mullally retrieved a note she'd written six months earlier and hidden in their bathroom. ""Nick is getting this job on ""The Office' spinoff,"" she had written, correctly predicting he'd win the part with his talent. She also plays Swanson's second ex-wife on the show, Tammy Two, and Offerman has said in interviews the on-screen performance work so well because of their real-life marriage. ""A big part of this happening is being married to this crazy comedy legend,"" Offerman said in an interview last year. ""She has been such a great supportive coach."""
