Grab your favourite single malt whisky and a well-seasoned piece of timber, because Nick Offerman is ready for your questions. The iconic actor, renowned for his deadpan portrayal of the libertarian woodworker Ron Swanson in Parks and Recreation, is the next subject of The Guardian's popular reader Q&A series.
