Josh Oppenhol

Josh Oppenhol is one of Dre's colleagues at the advertising agency, a genial office presence who drifts in and out of the workplace scenes with easy confidence. He wants to be liked and to fit smoothly into the group, chatting and joking his way through the day without much self-awareness about how his comments land.

Jeff Meacham plays him with a breezy, oblivious charm that makes him a useful comic pressure valve — the guy whose casual remarks expose the gap between how he sees himself and how the room actually receives him, giving black-ish's workplace scenes an easy, recognizable texture of office life.
