The cast of ‘My Name is Earl’ will grow by one next season, as Michael Rapaport, star of FOX’s ‘War at Home’, comes on board.

You’ll probably remember that Earl took the wrap for Joy during the finale, and was sentenced to two years in prison.  Rapaport will step in as buddy that Earl makes while in the slammer.

The deal will also give Rapaport a project in development for the 2008-2009 season.
