They join Peter Sarsgaard and Mary-Louise Parker in the series, which follows a grown man named Harry (Quinto) who slaps another couple's problem child, and the fallout that ensues. Cox will play Quinto's father Manolis.

Originally airing from Oct. 6 to Nov. 24, 2011, on Australia's ABC1, The Slap is based on the acclaimed 2008 novel of the same name by Christos Tsiolkas.
