Shonda Rhimes may be creating some balance in the White House on ABC’s “Scandal.”
Jon Tenney will be joining the current third season in a recurring role, an ABC representative told TheWrap. The rep declined to reveal the details of the role.
But sources tell TVLine, which broke the casting, that Tenney will be a (spoiler alert) romantic interest for the First Lady, Mellie Grant (Bellamy Young).
Tenney most recently played Agent Fritz Howard on TNT’s “Major Crimes” “The Closer.” Before that, he appeared in the title role of Sean King on the network’s “King & Maxwell.” His credits also include HBO’s “The Newsroom” and ABC’s “Brothers and Sisters.”
More to come…
