‘Will & Grace’ Enlists ‘Scandal’ Trio for Guest Roles

Will & Grace has lined up several Scandal-ous guest stars for upcoming episodes.

Dan Bucatinsky, Matthew Letscher and Barry Bostwick, all of whom had memorable arcs on the Shonda Rhimes drama, have been tapped to appear, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Aquarius grad Andy Favreau is also slated for a guest role.

As per usual on the revival, there are no details yet about who they’re playing, with the exception of Emmy-winner Bucatinsky, who is reprising his role as Neil. The actor-writer-producer guest-starred in a season two episode, “The Hospital Show,” as a man who goes on an unsuccessful date with Will (Eric McCormack). 

Guest stars so far this season include Jane Lynch, Max Greenfield, Andrew Rannells and Kyle Bornheimer, as well as returning faces from the show’s original eight-season run, including Harry Connick Jr., Minnie Driver and Leslie Jordan. Bobby Cannavale and Molly Shannon are also set to reprise their roles in upcoming episodes.
