The Woods family tree has sprouted more fruit. That’s the weirdest way we could think of to tell our readers that the Legally Blonde prequel series, Elle, has found its patriarch. Today, it was confirmed that That Thing You Do! alum, Tom Everett Scott, will be stepping into the shoes of Wyatt Woods — the father of Elle Woods, the character first made famous by Reese Witherspoon in the 2001 film that started it all. Scott joins the previously announced Lexi Minetree (Law and Order: SVU), who will appear as the teenage version of the aspiring lawyer, and June Diane Raphael(Grace and Frankie), who joins the cast as Wyatt’s wife, Eva. Wyatt was first portrayed by James Read (Charmed) in the original feature and tried to stand in Elle’s way of shipping off to Harvard to study law.
