Very few Damages spoilers regarding the third season of this FX hit have been released.

But we can report that Campbell Scott - most recently seen on Royal Pains - is joining the cast as a series regular.

No details about Scott's character have been released, as he could be anything from Patti’s new client to a colleague to an arch nemesis.

All we know that is that shooting on season three begins next month and it will premiere in January.

Last year, big-time guest stars on Damages included Ted Danson. William Hurt, and Timothy Olyphant.
