Constance Zimmer is going from slash-and-burn doctor to spin doctor.
The Entourage alum, who’s currently trying to save Seattle Grace from financial ruin as Grey’s Anatomy‘s ruthless Dr. Cahill, will recur as a press spokesperson in The Newsroom‘s upcoming second season, our sister site Deadline reports.
Zimmer’s character, named Taylor, is a rep for Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign. (Remember, the HBO drama is set in the recent past, and Season 2 will cover the run-up to the 2012 national election).
The Aaron Sorkin series also recently tapped Marcia Gay Harden to replace guest star Rosemarie DeWitt as a lawyer defending ACN in a wrongful termination suit.
In addition to Entourage and Grey’s, Zimmer’s TV credits include Royal Pains, Boston Legal, The New Normal and Netflix’s House of Cards.

Good. Get her away from Owen!
Lol!
Ugh. Really don’t like her, can she stay away from my favourite shows?
As long as she still on “House of Cards”, I’m OK if she goes to “The Newsroom”, which let’s face it, is not a good show.
Constance rocks – glad she’s coming aboard Newsroom. :) Her Dana on Entourage was one of that great series best characters. Love her.
Don’t forget about Good Morning Miami, she was the best part of that show!
I don’t have anything against her acting at all, but any warmth she may exude as a person is completely gone once it hits the camera. Even when she plays nice, warm people, I don’t feel it from her. She gives off a weird vibe to me.
I love Constance! Hope The Newsroom writes her better than their other female characters.
Constance Zimmer is great. Would love to see her spar, in more than one way, with Will. Would make for an interesting storyline.
