From president to polygamist and everything in between, Tony Goldwyn has had one heck of a career. And one heck of a head of hair.

Best known of course as Scandal's President Fitzgerald Grant, Goldwyn can be seen tonight as Warren Jeffs in Lifetime's Outlaw Prophet, a TV movie based on the polygamist leader. And now that he's getting all nefarious on us, we feel it's a good time to take a trip back through time and look at Golwyn's past TV work. He's been on everything from Designing Women to Dexter. And while we're just looking at old TV work, we'd be remiss not to mention he was the voice of Tarzan in Disney's 1990s flick and you hated him in Ghost opposite Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore.

Let's take a look at Goldwyn's TV past. And yes, it's the past. We know it looks like he hasn't really aged more than three years since the 1980s.

Clearly, he has calmed down his hair. But we can't help but imagine Olivia Pople running her fingers through it in every single one of these videos. Just us? Didn't think so.

The hospital drama was Goldwyn's first credited TV gig, a year after he made his film debut in Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI.
