The Cobra Kai Actor You Didn't Realize Was In Parks And Rec

The young actor has appeared in the likes Ready Player One, The Middle and iCarly over the years but, in 2011, he featured alongside TV icons Leslie Knope and Ron Swanson in beloved sitcom, Parks and Recreation. Eagle-eyed Reddit users spotted that Bertrand played Darren, one of Ron's long-suffering Pawnee Rangers in the fourth episode of season 4, which finds Leslie and Ron facing off in an effort to prove who's better at teaching kids about the wilderness. Naturally, hilarious hijinks ensue as Leslie provides candy and comfort while Ron utilizes a more hard-lined approach.

The actor posted his own throwback to his time on the show on Twitter, which showcased his most memorable Parks and Rec moment (i.e. when he demands some of the girls' candy). Bertrand certainly made an impression, even up against heavy-hitters like Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman, with whom he shared several funny exchanges. Luckily, even after being forced to subsist on a diet of purely beans, he was able to grow up into the watchable bully Cobra Kai viewers love to hate.
