Former ‘West Wing’ cast members will stump for Hillary Clinton in Ohio this weekend.
Richard Schiff (Toby Ziegler), Allison Janney (C.J. Cregg), Bradley Whitford (Josh Lyman), Dulé Hill (Charlie Young), Joshua Malina (Will Bailey), and Mary McCormack (Kate Harper). The cast reunion and campaign events will include appearances in Cleveland, Sandusky, Toledo, Columbus and elsewhere.
West Wing, a fictionalized accounting of the White House under President Josiah Bartlet (Martin Sheen), has been off the air for a decade. The show was created by Aaron Sorkin and netted 26 primetime Emmy Awards during its run.
Since the show closed its run, some cast members have touted their role in inspiring viewers to pursue a career in politics. In an interview on NBC’s Today Show, Schiff recalled meeting fans of the show who, at the time, were staffing Sen. Barack Obama.
