Keep reading to find out who appeared in the latest chapter of the HBO comedy series, The Chair Company.
The Chair Company Episode 2 cast: New Blood. There's 5 Rons Now.
Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin's The Chair Company, despite its run-of-the-mill title and an equally run-of-the-mill starting point, has managed to enthrall the audience with Robinson's Ron, who reveals a much more unhinged and darker side in certain moments, getting us invested in his far-reaching conspiracy of the malfunctioning chair.
Here is a look at the characters who appear in the second episode and the actors who play them:
Tim Robinson as Ronald William Trosper

Ronald William Trosper is the protagonist of the Zach Kanin and Tim Robinson comedy, played by Robinson. Ron works at an architectural firm that makes malls, and in his greatest professional achievement, he is named the Project Head. However, after making his big, bold speech, Ron suffers an embarrassing fate as his chair breaks and he falls down.
Ronald consequently decides that he needs to know why the incident happened, and the manufacturers of the chair need to be informed of the same, leading the audience to deep rabbit holes as he blows up a minor inconvenience.
Ronald William Trosper's family
The second episode features Ronald's family, with Lake Bell playing Ron's wife Barb Trosper, and Sophia Lillis, who plays his daughter, Natalie. Finally, Will Price takes up the role of Ron's son, Seth Trosper.
The members of the Trosper family are some of the few characters played by known actors in the cast ensemble for the show, which prides itself on avoiding big and recognizable names of the industry.
Joseph Tudisco as Mike Santini

The second chapter features the entry of one of the first leads in Ron's conspiracy theory against Tecca Chairs, the manufacturers of the chair that broke down. The first episode found Ron being smacked with a lead pipe by a goon and being asked to stop looking into the chair conspiracy.
We finally meet Mike Santini, played by Joseph Tudisco, a goon-for-hire whom Ron finds by following the piece of cloth left behind by him after assaulting Ron.
The episode also features some of the more obscure actors, with Zuleyma Guevara playing Brenda, Ron's boss, Glo Tavarez playing Tim's assistant Jamie, and Jared Lindner, a real-life store owner, playing the cloth shop's cashier.
Despite being warned to stay away from the conspiracy, the second episode has Ron going even deeper and taking us along with him. Episode 3 of The Chair Company premieres on October 26.
