Paul Adelstein to Recur on Scandal

Paul Adelstein has signed up for another ride through Shondaland.

The actor, best known to ABC viewers for his long-running role on Private Practice, will appear on multiple episodes of Scandal Season 3 as... someone, TV Line confirms.

Details on the actor's role remain unclear, but the role will mark Adelstein's first television appearance since the aforementioned series went off the air in January.

Scandal Season 3 kicks off on Thursday, October 3, with Olivia's major secret now known to the public and with Lisa Kudrow set to come on board as some kind of politician.

We can't wait.
