Co-created by Nicholas Stoller (“Neighbors,” “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” “Get Him to the Greek”and Francesca Delbanco, “Friends From College” also stars Keegan-Michael Key, Cobie Smulders (“How I Met Your Mother”), Nat Faxon, Fred Savage (“Wonder Years”) and Jae Suh Park.

Since leaving “ATWT” in 2002, Parisse has gone on to star in such shows as “Law & Order,” “The Following” and “Vinyl,” among others.
