Scandal 2x14 Sneak Peeks "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot"

'Scandal' Finds Political Work for 'Ugly Betty's' Eric Mabius (Exclusive)

He'll guest star in the Feb. 21 episode, titled "Boom Goes the Dynamite."



Fresh off news that House's Lisa Edelstein has booked a gig as a client for Olivia Pope, the political fixer drama has added another high-profile guest star in Ugly Betty's Eric Mabius, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.

The actor, who most recently guest starred on USA's Political Animals, has been tapped to play Sen. Peter Caldwell, a member of a powerful political family who turns to OPA for advice from Olivia (Kerry Washington).

Mabius will appear in at least one episode of the Shonda Rhimes drama. He's scheduled to appear in the Feb. 21 hour titled "Boom Goes the Dynamite." (Check out a photo of his appearance above.)

"We always start out the season telling a case of the week [format] and then as our over-arching story ramps up, we lose the case of the week and our case of the week becomes this bigger story that we're telling," Rhimes told reporters during a recent set visit. "We did that last season, and we're doing it this season. We're telling this season in 13 and nine [episodes]. So at the end of the 13, we'll get back to our case of the week for a while and then we may not do it again."

Mabius, whose credits include The L Word and episodes of Franklin & Bash and The Client List, is repped by ICM Partners, GEF Entertainment and Baker Winokur.

What sucks is that I'm still not over that ending. I quit the show after S2 but it's still pains me to remember what could have been. :(

I love when there is a party/function because we get pretty Olivia hairstyles.
andi88 14th-Feb-2013 12:25 am (UTC)
I like your icon. I just jumped full into Scandal last week and I LOVE Olivia/Fitz. They are my new OTP (which is nice because I hadn't had one in a while from a recent show).

Omg, Eric Mabius!!

This new "more dominant" Fitz is already getting on my nerves

I don't hate Fitz, but I couldn't take that line seriously coming from him.
howlcosmiclove 14th-Feb-2013 01:02 am (UTC)
lmao that was too much.
evett 14th-Feb-2013 12:30 am (UTC)
lol first ontd hates Fitz because he is spineless and can never make a decision now they will hate him for being too domineering. can't win.
musicnextdoor 14th-Feb-2013 01:09 am (UTC)
Beware! He's no wimp! He can kill a dying, incapacitated elderly cancer patient!
spartacus 14th-Feb-2013 12:24 am (UTC)
Hoe can Fitz hate Olivia for fixing the election but not hate Mellie for /everything/???
fapattack 14th-Feb-2013 12:26 am (UTC)
because he knew for a fact that mellie never believed in him, but olivia's supposed to trust him completely and utterly and is the only person who has ever believed in him fully and now he feels heartbroken because not even olivia, the love of his life, thought he could be president on his own *yawn*
spartacus 14th-Feb-2013 12:27 am (UTC)
w/e

hahahey 14th-Feb-2013 12:53 am (UTC)
what? where are you getting that mellie never believed in him?
andi88 14th-Feb-2013 12:28 am (UTC)
Didn't he think she was the one who tried to kill him? I guess rigging the election seems like nothing when he believed that. He holds Olivia to a much higher standard.
hearthecity 14th-Feb-2013 12:29 am (UTC)
Ugh Fitz is the worst
evett 14th-Feb-2013 12:35 am (UTC)
Mellie has never made a secret about doing everything it takes to get him to the white house and keep him as president. Olivia is supposed to actually have his back. So he feels betrayed by her.
roguewave3 14th-Feb-2013 12:41 am (UTC)
He definitely hates Mellie. He is up to something.
ellaellaeheheh 14th-Feb-2013 12:26 am (UTC)
poor Cyrus...
untxi 14th-Feb-2013 12:30 am (UTC)
Kerry is so gorgeous! She was stunning in Django.
joc_strap 14th-Feb-2013 12:34 am (UTC)
i hate cyrus's husband so much.
spartacus 14th-Feb-2013 12:40 am (UTC)
omg, no!
keskt 14th-Feb-2013 12:42 am (UTC)
lol I love him!
roguewave3 14th-Feb-2013 12:42 am (UTC)
I don't hate him but I still don't understand why he went forward with contacting David when the truth coming about the election would fucked over his husband whether he was involved or not.
hearthecity 14th-Feb-2013 12:52 am (UTC)
yeah that was dumb as hell. I know he was pissed at him, but it's still your husband. He didn't think first.
howlcosmiclove 14th-Feb-2013 01:07 am (UTC)
yeah he should've thought that through.

tusiaczek87 14th-Feb-2013 12:43 am (UTC)

tusiaczek87 14th-Feb-2013 12:39 am (UTC)
i am sooo excited for new episodes, shit got real and we will get new Olivia's hair :DDDD
andi88 14th-Feb-2013 12:43 am (UTC)
Lmao Olivia's new hair is like half the reason I'm looking forward to it too
tusiaczek87 14th-Feb-2013 12:46 am (UTC)
it looks so great in promos, i am pumped lol
ms_mmelissa 14th-Feb-2013 12:50 am (UTC)
The demise of the Farrah is what I'm most looking forward to.
howlcosmiclove 14th-Feb-2013 01:09 am (UTC)
lmao I'm glad they're doing away with that shitty hairstyle for now.
youbeboy 14th-Feb-2013 12:41 am (UTC)
Why do they keep David on the show just to keep torturing him?
keskt 14th-Feb-2013 12:44 am (UTC)
I love this show but couldnt care less about Olivia and Fitz's relationship... dont get me wrong I would hit it but she could do so much better
ms_mmelissa 14th-Feb-2013 12:51 am (UTC)
+1

I stopped enjoying them after Hunting Season. He's just the biggest jerk with no redeeming features.
hahahey 14th-Feb-2013 12:54 am (UTC)
this, I really could not care less about them.
keskt 14th-Feb-2013 12:45 am (UTC)
ambergambino asked: What?! What?! Josh, you have a tumblr! I had no idea. Now you know about all our ships.

Yes, Terry. Yes I do.

roguewave3 14th-Feb-2013 12:46 am (UTC)

andi88 14th-Feb-2013 12:51 am (UTC)

paarycia 14th-Feb-2013 01:07 am (UTC)
