Exclusive: 'Damages' retains Campbell Scott

Damages has booked its first season 3 client: Campbell Scott is joining the cast as a series regular, sources confirm to me exclusively.

Truthfully, I don’t know if the former Six Degrees star is playing Patti’s new client, colleague, or arch nemesis. An FX insider tells me that producers are keeping details about Scott’s character — and the new season as a whole — very close to the vest.

Here are two things I do know for sure: Production resumes at the end of September and the third season is slated to debut in January.

Who do you think Campbell is playing? And does the Longtime Companion actor measure up to previous Damages VIPs Ted Danson. William Hurt, and Timothy Olyphant? Sound off below!
