NOTABLE 'FIXERS' OF HOLLYWOOD

Kerry Washington in "Scandal" (2012): On the new ABC Thursday night drama, Washington plays Olivia Pope, a crisis-management expert based on real-life diva of D.C. damage control Judy Smith.

George Clooney in "Michael Clayton" (2007): One of Clooney's most memorable roles was this bag man with a conscience, doing dirty work for a top law firm.

Jodie Foster in "Inside Man" (2006): A bank founder played by Christopher Plummer hires Foster's character, Madeline White, to keep the contents of his safe-deposit box private during a heist.

Harvey Keitel in "Pulp Fiction" (1994): Mr. Wolf is more of a cleaner -- as in, wiping brutal murder scenes of all traces of blood -- which makes him an extreme fixer.
