Wednesday- After an embarrassing ‘hidden wife’ scandal that forced former Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney to drop out of the 2008 race, life is finally looking up for the 61 year old Mormon. Producers at HBO were eager to invite the former Governor of Massachusetts to join the cast of the popular television drama. The show, that focuses on a polygamous family in Utah saw record viewership in 2007, and the new-found cast member looks to certainly have his work cut out for him. Bill Paxton will continue to play father Bill Henrickson, though Romney’s character, Eli Juleberg, is set to steal a bit of Paxton’s thunder when he debuts his new role as the Church Prophet. The new season of “Big Love” starts next week.
