Harrison Wright Replacements???

Okay before I start this post, let me address a troll whose comment I delete on the blog about the Scandal Season 3 Finale . Troll called me a racist because I said Columbus Short was "the only OUTSPOKEN_DIVA approved hunk on the show". Since I deleted the comment, troll has sent a email every day since trying to debate me. Here is my official statement:
      Pop Culture tells you I have to say that Fitz & Jake are attractive. The Key Phrase is "tells you". Pop Culture does not tell me who I think is attractive. I do not think the actors who play Fitz or Jake are handsome. I also don't think the actor who played Olivia Pope's former love interest, Edison was either. So that's the hammer I will use to smash your racist accusations. Boom!!! This is my blog and also my choice of "hunkiness". Stop trying to goad me in to a argument about it.

Well, Columbus Short will not be returning back to Scandal after the summer break.
 I told you Shonda Rhimes does not play with Scandal (pun not intended). I've seen many talk about who could replace Columbus short as Harrison Wright. I only have one choice, Brian Wright.
But actually I don't want any actor replacing Harrison Wright. Replacing Columbus Short with anyone as Harrison Wright is like replacing Aunt Vivian on Fresh Prince or Harriet on Family Matters. This is not the 1990's. Writers Know 1) We all don't look a like. 2) Casting is not fooling anyone.

I expect Shonda Rhimes to Introduce another Gladiator at some point in the storyline (Yeah I have some ideas. Follow me on Twitter to find out). We will have to see what she does. If you watch Grey's Anatomy, the "Cardio God" after Isaiah Washington's departure was not a Black Man. It was a White Lesbian. So the newest Gladiator may not be a Black Man. But if he is here a my Top 3 choices.

Larenz Tate I know he's been bumped up from Recurring to Regular on Fx's show Rescue Me. But in my opinion, he can do both. I've never watched Rescue Me. I saw him as guest star on The Mindy Project, recently. He was smooth talking political candidate named Tracy Whitfield. We also know from the role O-Dog in Menace to Society when he was younger. He can handle a gun. And yes, if he can't do both, the political candidate player can be a guest star needing Olivia's fixing (It's NO secret, I want Olivia Pope to get back to TRUE Fixer work).
Las Alonzo He played an FBI agent in the one season show, Deception. Which means he has experience being crime wielding and fact finding. Plus, I think Alonzo has the personality to corral the Gladiator spirits into positivity like Harrison Wright. Now, can keep Alonzo's Tweets out his mouth and not cause any more minor controversies?
Aldis Hodge He not just an OUTSPOKEN_DIVA approved hunk. He's currently on the eye candy list. All because of a little show called Leverage. Hodge played a criminal hacker turned good guy. Often he had to play crazy characters to get good results. Because Huck may need some help because he'll be going through with the fallout of the family issue and/or his antic with the quinnteresting, Quinn. Now I know Hodge looks a little young to be a Gladiator but so does Quinn.

Yes, these picture posted were divisive. Other than Huck, all the Gladiators dress nice. I showed these actors dressing nice on purpose. They are all OUTSPOKEN_DIVA hunk approved. But most importantly IMO they would be great as Gladiators if Shonda Rhimes is going to stick with Black Male. I'll have to put more thought into "Other That Can Be Gladiators". Just dealing with the surface level interest. So stay tune for another blog dealing with that topic. Okay so, who would you like to see as a Gladiator? Let me know in the comments below.
