Television journeyman Steven Weber‘s next stop will be in Dallas, with a recurring role on the TNT drama.
TVLine has learned exclusively that Weber will play Governor McConaughey, an ambitious politico who conspires with Cliff Barnes and Harris Ryland — a gruesome twosome if ever there was — to take down the Ewing family.
