“Scandal” actress Bellamy Young will campaign for Hillary Clinton in Greensboro on Friday.

Young, an Asheville native, plays First Lady Melody “Mellie” Grant on the Shonda Rhimes drama, a political thriller that focuses on a crisis-management firm in Washington, D.C.

Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, visited the “Scandal” set in February to watch the fake Oval Office at work.

In March, Rhimes and the lead actresses from her three shows — Ellen Pompeo of “Grey’s Anatomy,” Viola Davis from “How To Get Away With Murder” and Kerry Washington of “Scandal” — released a promotional video supporting the candidate.

Young will kick off a women-to-women phone bank — where female campaign volunteers make calls to recruit other female volunteers — at 3 p.m. at Clinton’s Greensboro field office, 2300 West Meadowview Road, Suite 103.

Her visit to the city comes in the middle of a four-day tour of the state, with stops also planned in Asheville, Charlotte and Raleigh.

She will discuss Clinton’s record of working for girls and women as well as emphasizing voter registration and early voting, which begins here Oct. 20.

Young’s visit comes a week after actor Sean Astin of “Lord of the Rings” fame, campaigned for Clinton in the eastern part of the state.
