Who Plays Gordon Ford On The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel?

Reid Scott spent much of the 2000s making brief appearances on popular shows like “That ’70s Show,” “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” and “Bones.” But 2012 found Scott showing off his comedic talents while working with Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the hit HBO comedy “Veep,” which follows a day in the life of Vice President Selina Meyer (Louis-Dreyfus) and her staff.

Scott plays Dan Egan, Vice President Meyer’s Deputy Director of Communications, who later becomes her 2016 presidential campaign manager before becoming a morning news anchor after he is fired multiple times from Meyer’s staff roster. Egan would rejoin Meyer’s team during her 2020 presidential campaign, taking over the post of deputy communications director. 

When talking about his character’s growth, Scott told The Wrap, “I don’t know that he’s evolved much. Evolution, at least emotional and intellectual evolution, is sort of passing Dan by. I rather like the idea that he’s learned nothing, except for more tricks along the way.” Scott would take his final bow as Dan in Season 7, Episode 7, “Veep,” which is also the series finale. But Scott doesn’t want to put those days behind him. In 2019, he told Newsweek that he thought the ending of “Veep” was satisfying, but he told KTLA in February of 2023 that would love to reboot the political comedy if the opportunity ever presents itself.

While making people cringe and laugh on the small screen, Scott has also been busy putting his mark on Marvel.
