She picked up Best Supporting Actress Oscar and SAG nominations in 2003 for Pieces Of April, and that same year landed a second SAG nom for her lead role in The Station Agent.
Stage veteran Scott meanwhile had recurring roles in Damages and Six Degrees, and played Peter Parker's father Richard to Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man.
The political drama dropped a menacing new trailer on America's Inauguration Day, heralding the arrival of its fifth series on May 30.

Captioned: 'We make the terror,' on Twitter, the preview opens with a close-up of an American flag flying upside down against an overcast sky.
As ominous music roils underneath, a group of children can be heard emotionlessly intoning the Pledge Of Allegiance.
The camera slowly pulls back from the flag, revealing it's flying in front of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C.
Against a percussive thump, the May 30 release date appears onscreen, and a brief snatch of the programme's theme tune closes out the video.

Leading man: Kevin Spacey stars as Frank Underwood, a boundlessly ruthless politician who at the end of the second series becomes President Of The United States
The darkly cynical tone of the trailer matches that of the series, and of its Twitter page, which opens its bio: 'Democracy is so overrated.'
Its avatar is of an animated American flag with the stars missing, set upside down against a solid black backdrop.
Adapted from a BBC miniseries of the same name, the American version of House Of Cards' debuted its 13-episode first series on Netflix all at once in 2013.
