‘Scandal’s’ Dan Bucatinsky Hopes His Failures Can Combat Trump Delusions
Scandal star Dan Bucatinksy just announced to the world that he ripped the seam of his favorite skinny jeans, had a role in killing his daughter’s beloved bird (it was a genuine accident), and released a bunch of self-taped auditions for roles he didn’t get.
No, he didn’t lose an awful bet to expose his biggest fails to his almost 57,000 Instagram followers. He’s vowed to do so on purpose, every week, in an effort to combat doom-scrolling and social media perfectionism with his #FailureFridays series.
Bucatisnky was a recurring cast member on ABC’s Scandal alongside Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn for three seasons (with brief appearances in Seasons 4 and 6). He won an Emmy in 2013 for his role as James Novak, husband to the show’s most ruthless politician, Cyrus Beene (Jeff Perry). He’s also a writer and producer with some impressive credits and a longtime producing partner of Lisa Kudrow.
