Rooster‘s latest episode put Ludlow College’s President at the center of the action as HBO‘s new comedy aimed the spotlight at Walt (John C. McGinley). Warning: Spoilers for Rooster Season 1 Episode 7 ahead!
As Walt was faced with the dilemma of who would fill the role of Dean on campus, he was forced to pick between Dylan (Danielle Deadwyler) and the former Dean Riggs (Alan Ruck), who came back to campus after recovering from a heart attack. The problem? Riggs has become more than a liability by today’s academic standards with his inappropriate behavior.
