A Friend-ly gladiator is joining the gang on Shonda Rhimes’ hot Washington DC drama "Scandal". "Friends" alumna Lisa Kudrow has been tapped for a recurring role on the ABC series’ upcoming third season.

In typical Shonda fashion, details about Kudrow’s character are kept under wraps, but I’ve learned that she plays a politician.



On the Kerry Washington-starring drama, Kudrow is joining her long-time producing partner Dan Bucatinsky, who received an Emmy nomination for his recurring role as Cyrus’ (Jeff Perry) long-suffering husband.

This marks Kudrow’s biggest series acting commitment in a long time. Since the end of "Friends" and her follow-up series, the cult HBO comedy "The Comeback", Kudrow has been focused on producing as well as her online-turned-TV improv show "Web Therapy".

Starting Oct. 24, Lisa Kudrow joins the cast of "Scandal" in a recurring role as a politician. And it looks like she's making fast friends.

"It's amazing that Lisa said yes," says creator Shonda Rhimes of snagging the Emmy winner. "She's a nuanced, intelligent actress, and Kerry Washington ended every working day saying, 'Oh, my God, Lisa's incredible!'"
