Marry Me - Dan Bucatinsky gets Recurring Role
Scandal's Dan Bucatinsky has lined up his next gig.
The actor, who won an Emmy for his recurring guest turn on ABC's D.C.-set thriller, has boarded NBC's Marry Me, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Single-camera comedy Marry Me centers on longtime couple Annie (Happy Endings' Casey Wilson) and Jake (Party Down's Ken Marino), who get engaged and quickly realize that it's harder than it looks.
Bucatinsky will play Kevin 2, the father to Wilson's Annie and the husband to Saturday Night Live alum Tim Meadows' Kevin 1. Bucatinsky, who also serves as a consulting producer on ABC's Grey's Anatomy, will guest-star in the pilot and, should the comedy be picked up to series, likely recur.
"I've been a husband of [Scandal's] Jeff Perry for three seasons and now playing Tim Meadows' husband and the very well-preserved father of Casey Wilson," Bucatinsky told THR. "It's hilariously funny and I'm excited to be in a comedy, and hopefully if that gets picked up I'll have the opportunity to play with those guys. It's been a really fun distraction from the eulogizing I've been doing in my head of James Novack!"

Cristela - Terri Hoyos, Roxana Ortega, Carlos Ponce and Andrew Leeds join as Regulars, Sarah Halford to Recur
Cristela, ABC‘s semi-autobiographical multi-camera comedy co-created by and starring rising stand-up comedian Cristela Alonzo, has locked in its main cast. Terri Hoyos, Roxana Ortega, Carlos Ponce and Andrew Leeds (NCIS: LA) have been cast as regulars and newcomer Sarah Halford as recurring in the “proof of concept”/presentation, from 20th TV and 21 Laps/Adelstein. The show, co-written by Alonzo and Kevin Hench, tells the story of Cristela (Alonzo), an American Latina straddling two cultures while not fully belonging to either.
Cristela, in her sixth year of law school and living rent-free with her older, thinner, prettier, more traditional sister Daniela (Ortega) and brother-in-law Felix (Ponce), lands a prestigious law firm internship as her old world, outspoken, good-hearted mother Natalia (Hoyos) hectors her about getting a real job, her brother-in-law encourages her to move out and her sister runs low on patience. Leeds plays Josh, Cristela’s whip-smart fellow intern and confidant at the law firm who has been coddled by his parents his whole life and can’t help but admire Cristela’s outlook and resilience. Halford will play Maddie, a twentysomething blonde who’s a bit naive, spoiled but sweet and not the smartest applicant for the internship — but who got the gig because she’s the boss’ daughter.
