Fisher and Deborah Vance! It's a meeting fans could not have predicted.

A new picture of Briney with Smart was also released with the news of his casting.

Christopher Briney joins Jean Smart on Hacks Season 5

Briney's announcement was made in a quirky manner by HBO Max. On Instagram, they posted a paparazzi-style pic of the actor on set with Smart and wrote, "anon pls." Wearing an open shirt that shows off some tattoos and a beard and mustache, Briney has left behind Conrad for now. A giggling Deborah Vance (Smart) is holding on to him as they exit what looks like a hotel.
