"Beloved as Desmond on Lost, Henry Ian Cusick had quite the challenge when selecting his follow-up role after the series wrapped in 2010.\r\nOnce the script for ABC&amp;apos;s Scandal crossed his desk, however, the decision couldn&amp;apos;t have been easier.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;There was a line in it where I&amp;apos;m supposed to be asking my girlfriend to marry me, and I say to Kerry Washington &amp;apos;What if I cheat on her? What if she leaves me?&amp;apos; and I say &amp;apos;I&amp;apos;m not a good guy.&amp;apos; For me, that one line made me curious,&amp;quot; Cusick told Us Weekly during an April 13 visit to our New York City offices. &amp;quot;I went with my gut.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nCusick&amp;apos;s character, defense attorney Stephen Finch &amp;quot;has some sort of moral compass and knows what a good guy is, but he&amp;apos;s not it,&amp;quot; says the actor.\r\n\r\nPart of the ensemble cast that includes leading lady Washington, Cusick tells Us that once the seven-episode season nears its end, viewers will be in for a twisty treat.\r\n&amp;quot;After episode four [April 26], the show really picks up. People are not who they seem,&amp;quot; Cusick hints, adding that the series will explore Huck and Abby&amp;apos;s pasts in depth and do a flashback episode. &amp;quot;In episode 7 there&amp;apos;s a great cliffhanger that makes you say &amp;apos;let&amp;apos;s see episode 8 now!&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nFor more Cusick&amp;apos;s top reasons to watch Scandal Thursday at 10 p.m. (EST) on ABC, check out the exclusive video above!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
