The Making Of Ron Swanson On 'Parks and Recreation' (VIDEO)

Savvy viewers recognize there is something missing from NBC's big comedy premiere night. 'Parks and Recreation' will not be joining its former cohorts 'The Office,' '30 Rock' and 'Community' on Thursday nights this fall. Instead, we'll see the new show 'Outsourced, while Leslie Knope and pals are currently scheduled to return as a midseason replacement.

But we need our weekly 'Parks and Rec' fix, and thankfully, Vulture is providing one for us. They'll have weekly updates of our favorite Pawnee citizens via an original photo montage shot by the 'Parks and Rec' cast and writers. The inaugural post is titled 'Becoming Ron Swanson.'

'Parks and Recreation' castmates have said actor Nick Offerman is actually a lot like his character Swanson. He eats a lot of meat, like woodworking and is an overall man's man. You wouldn't think it would take much for him to get into character. However, the photo montage says otherwise.
