Papa Pope approves! Scandal‘s Joe Morton (Eli Pope) channels his nefarious government-agent character while reading fan tweets for Luxury Handbag Shopping Video.
“Papa Pope makes my palms all sweaty, my heart [beat] a lot faster and my eyes widen like a deer in headlights,” the actor, 68, says as he reads one tweet.
Morton, also known for such series as CBS’ The Good Wife and TNT’s Proof, told Luxury Handbag Shopping in a previous video that his busy travel schedule and all-day shoots can sometimes take their toll.
Describing a time when he was filming an episode from Scandal‘s fourth season, he said with a laugh, “There was a scene between Olivia and Maya — between Kerry [Washington] and Khandi Alexander — and I had no dialogue, and I was supposed to be unconscious, and I fell asleep.”
Watch Morton transform as he reads the tweets in the video above!
Scandal airs on ABC on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
