According to TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich, Paul Adelstein has been been cast in a recurring guest-star for Scandal's upcoming third season. Details regarding Adelstein's role are currently being kept top secret, but he will first appear on the show in late October. Here's an except from the article:
Regardless, hopefully Adelstein’s character — who will first surface in late October — fares better than that of real-life wife Liza Weil, who played White House intern Amanda Tanner during Season 1.
Scandal marks Adelstein’s first TV role since Private Practice wrapped its run in January. (Mother’s Day, a pilot in which he played husband to Debra Messing, did not make CBS’ 2013-14 schedule.) The actor’s previous TV credits also include Prison Break (Kellerman!) and Rob Thomas’ Cupid.
Scandal opens Season 3 on Thursday, Oct. 3.

My thoughts: Despite the fact that nothing has been revealed about Paul Adelstein's role yet, I'm beyond excited about this news. I loved him on Private Practice, so I'm very confident that he'll do a great job on Scandal. Honestly, I had completely forgotten that Paul Adelstein is married to Liza Weil until I read the original article. I loved her on Gilmore Girls, and she was great on Scandal too, but I digress. That being said, since Shonda Rhimes clearly has a habit of using the same actors on several of her shows, I would love it if Chris Lowell, KaDee Strickland, Taye Diggs, Benjamin Bratt, or Caterina Scorsone appeared on Scandal at some point in the future. I loved them all on Private Practice, and I think it would be great to see them on Scandal, or any TV show for that matter. One thing is for sure though, Shonda Rhimes pretty much always does a great job of casting good actors to appear on her TV shows.
