Columbus Short

Columbus Short — Columbus Short is an actor best known for playing Harrison Wright on ABC’s Scandal. He starred in the hit series for the first three seasons, before his personal troubles caused him to leave the show. Columbus has also appeared in numerous films like ‘Stomp the Yard,’ ‘Cadillac Records,’ ‘Armored,’ and ‘The Losers.’ He’s been married three times and has four children.

Columbus has made headlines for his legal troubles. In 2014, he got into a bar fight and was charged with felony battery. Four years later, he got arrested on domestic violence charges for an incident involving his wife Aida Abramyan. He was sentenced to one year in jail but only served 34 days. He was arrested again on domestic violence in Feb. 2022 after he allegedly got into a physical fight with Aida. Columbus has yet to be charged for that incident.
