Tony nominee and former GUIDING LIGHT actress Laura Bell Bundy has joined the cast of FX's ANGER MANAGEMENT as a new series regular, producers Lionsgate Television announced Monday.

Bundy, who begins filming this week, will play Charlie's new sex-study research partner, Dr. Jordan Denby. The character is described as a brilliant psychologist whose recent divorce, fondness for alcohol and wild mood swings turn Charlie's life into an emotional roller-coaster.

The role initially was conceived as a recurring part with series regular option.

Bell replaces Selma Blair in the comedy series. Blair was dismissed from the series after clashing with Sheen in June.

Bell recently signed a record deal with Big Machine Records in Nashville and will release her first country single on Aug. 19. She's currently on tour with Rascal Flatts.
