As we reported earlier this week, Khandi Alexander has joined the cast of ABC’s “Scandal,” playing the role of Kerry Washington’s character, Olivia Pope’s late mother, Maya Lewis.
The NAACP Image Award winner made her first appearance during last night’s episode in flashbacks surrounding her death. As you recall, Pope’s mother died under suspicious circumstances in a plane crash when she was just 12-years-old.
Alexander’s credits include “CSI: Miami,” “The Corner” and “ER.” Alexander most recently starred as LaDonna Batiste-Williams on HBO’s “Treme,” a drama set in post-Katrina New Orleans, LA where residents of a diverse community struggle to rebuild their lives and their hometown. Khandi Alexander’s resume and effortless beauty are a killer match to take on the role of Maya Lewis.
