Scandal: Grey's Anatomy's Kate Burton Makes Her Debut as the VP
The vice president will finally be introduced in Thursday's episode of Scandal — and she's the polar opposite of President Fitz (Tony Goldwyn). "She's kind of like a combo physically between Dianne Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi, but when she opens her mouth she's pure Michele Bachmann," says Kate Burton, who plays Sally Langston, the Tea Party conservative who was once Fitz's enemy. (She sounds peachy!) Burton is all too familiar with playing a strong female matriarch, having portrayed Ellis Grey on Grey's Anatomy, a role that surely came in handy when taking on the VP of the United States.
