Scandal star Joshua Malina, 49, shared 25 surprising and hilarious facts about himself with Us Weekly. Scandal returns to ABC on Sept. 24 at 9 p.m. ET.

1. My family nickname has been “Wheatie” since I was a kid.

3. I once signed an autograph for someone who was sure that I was Matthew Broderick.

4. When I met my wife, Melissa, we had both just finished reading David Copperfield. This, combined with her sly humor and fetching looks, left me smitten.
