‘Scandal’s Scott Foley Signs With Independent Artist Group

EXCLUSIVE: Scott Foley, the actor known for his work in film and television and on stage, who most recently starred in the Broadway production of The Thanksgiving Play, has signed with Independent Artist Group.

He also memorably portrayed Sean Kelly, the affable one-time love interest of Dr. Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke), on Bill Lawrence’s Scrubs, before reteaming with Lawrence as the producer and star of his ABC action dramedy Whiskey Cavalier.
