Bradley Whitford is best known for his role of Deputy Chief of Staff, Josh Lyman on the popular NBC Network series ‘The West Wing’. For his brilliant performance on the series, Bradley Whitford has won the Emmy Award as the Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2001.

As of now, the man is planning to take divorce from his wife Jane Kaczmarek, the Malcolm in the Middle actress, as per Melissa Kates, Whitford’s publicist. The couple got married in 1992. They have three children namely, six-year-old Mary Louisa, George Edward, 9, and Frances Genevieve, 11. Currently, Jane Kaczmarek is appearing on TNT’s ‘Raising the Bar’ and Bradley is also busy in completing his projects.

Though the couple has decided to part ways, their longtime relationship is an example itself. In this fast paced world of Hollywood, staying with each other for seventeen consecutive years is a big deal. On the other hand, it also makes me think where has the mutual understanding gone which has been tying them for such ling period. Well, getting away from each other is their personal issue so we can’t say anything. Hope, they would sort it out in the best possible way.

You know buddies, when I came to know about this news of ‘The West Wing’ actor; it reminded me the days when the show was on air. How much crazy we fans were for West Wing episodes at that time? And, the memories of old days urged me to watch its episodes. I’ve downloaded all the episodes of the show. As it was not possible to watch all episodes in a day so I watched the series finale only. The episode was entitled ‘Tomorrow’ and was aired on May 14, 2006.  Series was ended in a very touching manner. We saw President Santos was welcomed and President Bartlet had to leave the office.  And, The West Wing went away forever.

Though he has portrayed the character of a president for a longtime, the man has no interest in politics.    Yeah, I am talking about Martin Sheen, the man who portrayed the character of Josiah Edward “Jed” Bartlet on popular NBC Network series ‘The West Wing‘. From the beginning of the show to the series finale, we saw him playing the role of the President of the United States and his journey, as a president, came to an end after his heir took over.

Very recently, Martin Sheen has made it clear that he’s not interested in politics and has rejected the chance to be a part of real politics. Martin confessed it in front of the Oxford Union saying that it’s not possible for him to sit in meetings all day.  It was 2004, when a delegation of Democrats from Ohio approached Martin to offer him a chance to run for the Senate Seat. Martin rejected the offer saying ‘it was a tempting offer’.

According to Martin, it’s the lack of aptitude which blocks his way to enter politics and he also has no intentions of following the footprints of other actors. He said, “We already had an old actor in national politics, and it didn’t work out so well. He shall remain nameless”. During the speech, Martin also added that “Acting is what I do for a living. Activism is what I do to stay alive.”

Being a political activist, Martin has been arrested as many as 66 times. He was most recently apprehended in 2007 in Nevada for trespassing on a nuclear test facility.

The above confession of Martin has made me give him more respect and regard. As an actor, he has proved himself by successfully portraying any role even though it might not be of his interest or a character which he can’t even think about adopting in his real life. That’s what is always expected from an actor/actress……… such a marvelous job. What’s your view? Hey, share with me through the comment section.

Well, if you’re missing the show, you can download West Wing episodes here and can also watch West Wing online.

‘West Wing’ was really a popular show, focusing on reality of the political gallery. Most of the episodes focused on the various legislative and political issues which President Barlet and his underwent.  The series caught the attention of the common man as it told the tale of the scandals, the manipulations and the secrets hidden behind the bright and charming personalities of our politicians.

The situations covered in the storyline were almost always comparable with the political issues that were most important in the days when the series was being aired. After the presidential elections in 2000, when the republican President George W. Bush came to power, the audiences felt uncertain about the continuation of the show as they wondered if the show would retain its topicality. However all the speculations were put to rest when the show continued with its successful journey and even focused on many such issues which were most talked about in those days.

The show gives a sneak peak into not only the behind the door negotiations of the people in power with the Congress but also the personal issues of the politicians like their sex life and drug use. Many people compared one of the scandals associated with President Barlet in the story, with the most controversial Monika Lewinsky scandal associated with President Bill Clinton in real life. The subplot revolved around the immense pressure felt by Presidential staff, because of President Barlet’s non disclosure of his illness to the electorate. He was shown to be suffering from sclerosis and was investigated by the opposition and accused of defrauding the public. The subplot ended with President Barlet eventually accepting the Congressional censure.

The entire series showcased many such scandals and issues in its main storyline as well as the subplots which resembled the real life American political scenes to a great extent. The whole series was quite interesting and the viewers had their eyes transfixed on their TV sets during the airing of the episodes. It is really sad that the series could not continue airing after its seventh season.

Name of Aaron Sorkin is not new to TV viewers; the man is the one who created the very popular NBC drama ‘The West Wing‘. Latest news is exploring that, as of now, Aaron is writing the script for the new George Clooney courtroom drama ‘The Challenge’. Clooney would be directing the project and chances are that he’d also play Navy lawyer Charles Swift.

Well, when Aaron’s name becomes involved with any project, expectations are always high…. Who can forget The West Wing! It ran for seven consecutive seasons and each one was, by all odds, better than the previous one…. . We continued expecting better from The West Wing and they people always did more than our expectations.

I still remember the day when we last watched the West Wing, it was May 14, 2008 and the season seven finale was entitled ‘Tomorrow’. It was the series finale episode and really served its purpose as a series ender. Here, we saw that the Bartlet Administration was preparing to leave White House and also the west wing. Santos and his gang were gearing up, somehow nervously, for the presidential inauguration. We also saw that Santos planned to make Baker the vice-president thorough the Twenty-fifth Amendment. And, in the last minutes of his presidency, Bartlet pardoned Toby.

And, it was the end of that awesome drama. The West Wing became identification for NBC Network and the ratings and appreciation it got is still better than several other NBC shows. Approximately, 150 episodes were aired during the series run and all were very entertaining. For me, series episodes were means to relax and to forget all worries and tensions etc. I just skipped an episode of second season as it was my exam on that day. The very next day, I downloaded it and watched so that I’d not have to get lost… what & why?

There’ve been rumors of The West Wing sequel from time to time but nothing has ever been finalized by the creators. But, the idea is really great and I really want The West Wing TV show to return in form of a sequel or a movie etc.
