‘Scorpion’ season 2 spoilers: Scott Porter of ‘Hart of Dixie,’ ‘Friday Night Lights’ checks in

“Scorpion” has just found its latest guest star, and it is someone we know can tackle both drama and comedy in a pretty effortless fashion.

As first reported by TVLine, Scott Porter of “Hart of Dixie” / “Friday Night Lights” fame has been cast on the CBS drama as Tim Armstrong, a former football star and Navy SEAL who becomes brought in as a member of Team Scorpion by Cabe. This is meant to be a recurring role, which suggests you’ll be seeing him on at least a few occasions moving forward this season. What’s also intriguing here is the note that he could become a possible love interest for Paige (Katharine McPhee), which could certainly accelerate things in regards to Walter (Elyes Gabel) actually figuring himself. Let’s be honest: Waige really should’ve happened a long time ago.

While we’re sure that Tim is not a character we’re going to end up rooting for if he ends up being competition for Walter and Paige getting together, Porter is great and therefore, we’re looking forward to seeing him on the show.

The site also reports, for the record, that you are also going to be getting a chance to see on the show moving forward former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Horatio Sanz in the role of an “underdog attorney” by the name of Heywood Morris. With that sort of name, it’s pretty hard to not want to root for the guy in some way.
