Kerry Washington may have taken telelvision by storm, playing crisis manager Olivia Pope on ABC's "Scandal," but she joked today that she is still haunted by being cast as a frog in a college musical.

"It was not my lifetime dream role to play a frog. In fact, the thought of it terrified me," Washington said in a commencement speech today at her alma mater, George Washington University.

It was Washington's junior year when she was cast as a frog in the musical "Croak, or The Last Frog," depicting the journey of Cassandra, the last frog on earth.

As a presidential scholar for the arts, Washington said, she was required to audition for every production at the school in order to keep her scholarship. After being cast in the show, Washington said she took the challenge head-on and spent hours watching frogs, reading about frogs and holding frogs.

"I crossed the threshold into unknown territory," she said with a laugh, adding

Before Kerry Washington took telelvision by storm, playing crisis manager Olivia Pope on ABC's "Scandal," she recalled one of her most cringeworthy roles was in college when she was cast as a frog.

Accidentally butt dialing someone is embarrassing or inconsequential to most, but for two Fresno, Calif., men, their cell phone mishap landed them in jail.

The call, which went to 911, started like any other call to the police dispatcher, with the operator asking, "What is your emergency?"

But when no one answered, the operator didn't hang up, instead staying on the line and listening to the pair, who police identified as Nathan Teklemariam and Carson Rinehart, both 20, as they talked about wanting to do drugs. It wasn't long before the conversation turned to breaking into a car.

"Get the bolt and give me the hammer just in case," one of the two voices on the phone said.

Shortly after that statement, the dispatcher heard a window shatter and the people on the phone started yelling that they found prescription drugs.

As the two were driving away, police were already in the area searching for the men based on clues that the 911 dispatcher was feeding to them.
