Before 'Scandal,' I was actually cast in two other pilots. Both went to series, but I was fired and recast. For both, it was because they wanted me to sound more 'girlfriend,' more like 'hood,' more 'urban.' Kerry Washington castfiregirlfriend share on social
I really love research. It's one of the things I love most about my job. I feel like it's me in the lab cooking up the character. Kerry Washington charactercookfeel Change image and share on social
I feel like any single woman of color who's been onstage has a Shakespeare monologue in her back pocket, and a monologue from 'For Colored Girls.' It's just part of what you should have, as a woman of color. Kerry Washington backcolorcolore share on social
