Tony Goldwyn

Tony Goldwyn plays President Fitzgerald Grant on Scandal, the 2010s Shondaland fixer hour where Olivia Pope and her gladiators clean up D.C. disasters she half-created. White hats, soapy twists, live-tweet national sport. Shonda Rhimes put Kerry Washington at the center of network drama in a way primetime had not sustained for decades. Seven seasons of #TGIT fixer chic. Goldwyn is the Oval as a love interest and a problem.

ABC's line on Scandal is 2012–2018, 2010s catalog. Crisis manager Olivia Pope and her gladiators clean up D.C. Goldwyn holds President Fitzgerald Grant inside that sentence. He is not furniture. The cameras keep finding him because a series is a workplace.

Sweet Baby puts Olivia Pope and the white hat on ABC — Rhimes centering Kerry Washington as live-tweet national sport — that is s01e01, the door. s02e01 keeps the hour fluent: White Hat's Off makes the brand the title: gladiators, soapy twists, the hat coming off as the season's promise. Later, s07e18: Over a Cliff closes seven seasons of #TGIT fixer chic: the file actually going over, not quietly canceled on a Friday. Codes as a map. Plant Goldwyn as President Fitzgerald Grant there and the turn still shows.

The presidency photographs as a suit; he plays it as appetite. On TV Flash Goldwyn is 2010s network heat: not a guest in the West Wing, the man the gladiators cannot schedule away. Watch the twists. Fitz is why the White House still felt like a soap you were not supposed to admit you needed.
