I text with my dad during every ‘Scandal’ episode. We talk story lines, acting, and fashion. Darby Stanchfield Read Quote
Over at the Olivia Pope & Associates set, we’re like middle school children. Every time there’s a cut in the action, we joke and dance around; there’s show tunes and fart noises. Darby Stanchfield Read Quote
When I get ready for a high-profile event, it’s really about sleep and making sure I’m eating something healthy, and then it’s always important to stretch to stay limber. No matter what, you want to feel as loose as possible, because it’s easy to get full of excitement or tension with all that’s going on. Darby Stanchfield Read Quote
I was born in Kodiak, and I was raised in a place called Dutch Harbor out on the Aleutian Islands. There’s a show called the ‘Deadliest Catch’ on the Discovery Channel. And they film it on Dutch Harbor where I grew up. Darby Stanchfield Read Quote
As a kid, we had one television channel and a sad little roller rink. And there was not much else to do. So I used my imagination all of the time growing up. That’s the main way I played.

When I moved to Los Angeles, I was straight out of grad school, and I didn’t have a single credit to my name. I knew one person in town – another actor whose name is John Billingsley. I just had to audition and audition and audition. I was plugging away for 15 years. So I earned my stripes! Darby Stanchfield Read Quote
I’m like one of the tallest ones on ‘Scandal.’ If I’m wearing my four-inch Abby Whelan high heels, I hover over everybody. I literally have a lower pair of high heels that I wear when I do one of the scenes with the guys. Darby Stanchfield Read Quote
