Alan Alda! He was epic. Just so natural and present. And honestly, I rarely scroll through comments and all of you make excellent points. Gotta love WW fans!
I'm surprised that no one mentioned Mark Harmon. I'm sure if Allison Janney was interviewed, she might have mentioned him. Really a phenomenal cast and some amazing guest stars on this show.
Supposedly when Donald Bellasario was casting his lead for the show that would be named NCIS, saw Mark Harmon's performance on The West Wing, and decided that THAT was his Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Harmon is a terrific actor, and his performance in the West Wing was incredible. So sad when they killed him off. Though we might not have had him as Gibbs for the past 17 years if he had continued on West Wing.
Needed more of John Laroquette carrying a cricket bat as WH Counsel Lionel Tribby...wonder how his character would have dealt with the MS scandal instead of Oliver Platt's character..
He never had many lines but always a presence. One of my personal favorites was Michael O'Neill.... the head of Secret Service. I always enjoyed his character so much so that when he played the shooter on greys anatomy I lost my mind.
Too many to count, but Larroquette is my least favorite guest. I don't think he acted the part very well. Never sold me on the idea he could be a brilliant attorney. Glenn Close and William Fichtner are my favorites.
TWW just had a litany of great guest stars. John Amos as Fitzwallace and Anna Deavere Smith as Nancy McNally were two of my favorites. I also quite enjoyed Mark Feuerstein as Cliff Calley. He was the best of Donna's non Josh love interests.
@@SanskarWagley Wasn't the same. Writing is everything (other than outstanding acting) and CSI Miami was just another formula cop show. She was wasted in it.
@@cdjhyoung Truly. I watched about 5 minutes and was bored. switched off and never watched again. She may be a fine actress but it was the writing that made her doing Ainsley Hayes special.
How about Edward James Olmos as Judge Mendoza! Or William Fichtner as conservative Justice Christopher Mulready (opposite Glenn Close's liberal justice) in "The Supremes." Also, Kirsten Nelson who did such a brilliant job portraying the young Mrs. Landingham in "Two Cathedrals." And I loved David Huddleston's verbal sparring with President Bartlet in "Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics."
William Fichtner's appearance is discussed in another video. His performance was so powerful, they rewrote his part multiple times to include bits and pieces he interjected into that appearance. Imagine being so powerful an actor, playing across from Glen Close, and they adjust the script to highlight your contributions to it.
Kristen Nelson was so brilliant in that role. She channelled Kathryn Joosten perfectly. Absolutely everything was spot on, without going too far and becoming a caricature.
So many brilliant actors! For me, the one who comes to mind is Tony Lee, who played the North Korean pianist who wanted to defect in "Han." Such quiet dignity in every aspect of his performance!
@@petebuckley5138 I don't think Alan Alda counts as a guest star. He was a regular in the last season. Though admittedly so was Jimmy Smits and they mentioned him.
Another guest star who at least deserves an Honorable Mention: Clark Gregg as Agent Coul... sorry FBI Agent Mike Casper. Brought on to brief the President on a specific situation, eventually had a recurring role. Was very much a proto-Coulson type role for him, before his 12 year recurring stint in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Not that I’m unhappy to see Marlee Matlin, but she was never a regular... she was in 17 episodes. Mary Louise Parker/John Amos were in 20+, Lily Tomlin was in the 30+. Wish they’d been included too
loved Emily Procter and wished there was more of her (and maybe a love connection with Rob Lowe’s character). Mary Louis was the only guest star I couldn’t stand.
Matthew Perry, Christian Slater, Janeanne Garafolo, Kristen Chenoweth, Timothy Busfield, Anna Deveare-Smith, Tim Matheson, Clark Gregg, Roger Rees, Adam Arkin, Ed O'Neil. the list is so long. so many great actors making so many great characters come to life.
My favorite guest stars will probably make people groan or giggle - having The Muppets on the show especially that scene with CJ and Big Bird - c'mon, I know you all laughed at that scene!! 😂
"The West Wing" and "The Sopranos" battled it out in the 2000's as the two most prestigious and acclaimed hour long dramas on television. "The West Wing" representing network television and "The Sopranos" representing cable television. This was the point where television entered a new golden age. It showed that the medium could provide intelligent, thought provoking entertainment and back it up with great writing, great acting and great production values. Television was no longer the little sibling to cinema but could stand side by side feature films and be as creatively exciting as movies whilst providing the same level of depth and substance it previously lacked.
Third day of 2023 and I am half way through season 3 :) How that panned out I have no idea. This, Boston Legal and Babylon 5 are my go to binge shows. Can never go wrong with West Wing.
It’s a testament to how many wonderful guest actors were on the show that there are so many discussed in the video and so many more listed in the comments. Liz and Ellie Bartlet, Lord John, Annabeth Schott, Christopher Mulready, Abigail Bartlet, Joe the republican lawyer, Bingo Bob, VP Hoynes, and so many more!
I started to watch this show because I thought my late father would have liked it. My mom told me he loved the show. I’m on my third watch through now.
Tops for me were Emily Procter, John Larroquette, and Laura Dern. (And Teri Polo on Sports Night if we are talking the same Aaron Sorkin era.) Full list: John Larroquette, Roger Rees, Emily Procter, Matthew Perry, the turkey that got pardoned, Amy Adams, Clark Gregg, John Billingsley as that map guy, Nick Offerman, Hector Elizondo, Gail the goldfish, Lily Tomlin, and Laura Dern. Honorable mention to a character Aaron Sorkin was also writing for the first year of the West Wing. Teri Polo's episode arc on sports night made a noticeably memorable impression on me.
Janeane Garofalo as Louise Thornton, Christopher Lloyd as Lawrence Lesig, Omar Benson as Orlando Kettles(Try rushin' the quarterback, you're not gonna get there), Brian Dennehy played Senator Rafe Framhagen, Stephen Tobolowsky as Dr. Milkman from DARPA
"I need you to tell me everything you can tell me about the superconducting supercollider." "How much time do you have?" "About ten minutes." "If you pay close attention, stay very very quiet, I can teach you how to spell it."
I'm glad John Goodman got a mention. I remember his classic line "I'm only one quarter pounder away from a heart attack" as he took over the presidency.
The guest star talent was extraordinary, but John Larroquette, John Amos, Emily Proctor, John Goodman, and Roger Rees scenes were insanely great. Sorry Sorkin, a Republican in the West Wing would have elevated this amazing series.
well, it seems that if John Spencer had not died, Arnold Vinnick would have won the election. I read somewhere that the powers to be decided that Spencer's death and Vinnick's victory would have been too much for the fan base...
@@TheLibran38 For sure. Through Season 6 and 7 it was fairly clear the show was presenting us with a Republican candidate the fan base would accept taking over from Bartlet in the end. I think the idea was to have Santos get taken on as Education Secretary. Would've been a different end to the show, but I can see why it would've worked.
John Goodman's character despite only being in a few episodes, was incredibly well-acted. In his first appearance on the show, when he's brought on to temporarily replace Bartlet, John (Glenallen Walken) is telling the story of how World War I began. At the close of the story, Bartlet tries to interrupt and tell Glen that the staff has been awake for many hours. Glen responds with 4 simple words: You're relieved, Mr President! 4 words, which still sends shivers down my spine whenever I rewatch the series. Though these are fictional characters, one couldn't help but feel empathy and be drawn towards them. And here comes this new guy (Speaker of the House, never previously seen), telling THE PRESIDENT basically to Shut the f** up, and leave!
Ron Swanson's was very passionate about wolves thus he came up with the wolf migration proposal, but it was rejected by the white house and Ron has hated the government ever since. They also had Juwon Howard in an episode's opening scene. I think that's the most surprising guest appearance
There is a difference between recurring characters and guest stars. Guest stars for the most part are only 1 off characters while recurring can be on several seasons multiple times.
Guys Don’t be too upset The list of great actors that had great parts with great lines is too long for the character limit for RUclips comments It would be a 3 x 2 hour mini-series on its own if they did a documentary around all the great guest stars that graced the screen of The West Wing
I miss you guys. You were my introduction to American polity, as I'd just arrived stateside as a bright-eyed full-time student, and totally assumed that politics is the US is indeed this evolved, this esoteric, this ebullient. It took me a few years to realize that the show was fiction, not just in an obvious sense, but also on a deeper level, in that it represented Sorkin's imagination of a non-cynical, non-zero-sum idea of politics. I was sad to realize that real life is a little different.
So no one is gonna Matthew Perry's role which led to kicking out the vice president which goes underrated. I know a lot of this is cast based but still.
Worst oversights. First, Roger Rees/Lord John Marbruy omitted -as has been said by Kings and Queens...and to roll in Jimmy Smits, who was was a series regular for the better part of two seasons. Hardly a guest star or recurring actor.
No Lord John Marbury, Marquess of Needham and Dolby, Earl of Croy, Baronet of Brycey, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the United States from the Court of St. James's?
Ainsley was wonderful - I understand why losing her was regret for Sorkin. I kind of joke that Ainsley might be the only Republican I'd want to marry and Arnold the only Republican I'd vote for. So perhaps just a little too fictional. Heart of gold types with integrity? Definitely fiction in today's Republicans.
Alan Alda! He was epic. Just so natural and present. And honestly, I rarely scroll through comments and all of you make excellent points. Gotta love WW fans!
Yes, Alda was incredible. I was bowled over by how believable he was.
I'm surprised that no one mentioned Mark Harmon. I'm sure if Allison Janney was interviewed, she might have mentioned him. Really a phenomenal cast and some amazing guest stars on this show.
I agree. He was great and I was so sad when he died.
I know, right? Donovan was such a good character and so short lived
Supposedly when Donald Bellasario was casting his lead for the show that would be named NCIS, saw Mark Harmon's performance on The West Wing, and decided that THAT was his Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Harmon is a terrific actor, and his performance in the West Wing was incredible. So sad when they killed him off. Though we might not have had him as Gibbs for the past 17 years if he had continued on West Wing.
@@ReelMeurik Tagging onto this, Clark Gregg got noticed by Marvel to play Agent Coulson from his work as Agent Mike Casper on TWW.
Needed more of John Laroquette carrying a cricket bat as WH Counsel Lionel Tribby...wonder how his character would have dealt with the MS scandal instead of Oliver Platt's character..
He and Emily Proctor. That episode was so great, one of my favorites.
Sad of no mention to the late and superb Roger Rees, with the recurring cameo of Lord John Marbury.
Gerald!
he was magnificent.
...and a strong shot of whiskey...
I am, the Earl of Croy, Marquess of Needham and Dolby, Baronet of Brycey. Which way to the liquor?
@@mnfrench7603 Yes, you can call me John...
How did no one mention Roger Rees and Lord John Marbury??? HANDS DOWN the best recurring guest on the show.
Gerald!! Gerald!! - His interactions with John Spencer (Leo) were absolutely hilarious!
Seriously, the sheer amount of talent that came through this show was astounding.
He never had many lines but always a presence. One of my personal favorites was Michael O'Neill.... the head of Secret Service. I always enjoyed his character so much so that when he played the shooter on greys anatomy I lost my mind.
'That guy is a ringer!" was Bradley Whitford's line about it.
With Sorkin ever single walk-on actor had absolutely monstrous talent that just sent shivers up your back. How is it possible to do that?
It was a great show. You don't think everyone of these known actors weren't in their agent's face demanding to get a role on WW?
Sorkin is the closest thing we have to a modern Shakespeare.
I have to say, Roger Rees & John Laroquette were incredible. Oh crap! was Timothy Busfield a guest star? Danny!!! love him 🥰
Too many to count, but Larroquette is my least favorite guest. I don't think he acted the part very well. Never sold me on the idea he could be a brilliant attorney. Glenn Close and William Fichtner are my favorites.
@@blackhawkswincup2010 I respectfully disagree. Larroquette exudes intelligence and wit. I thought he did a really good job.
TWW just had a litany of great guest stars. John Amos as Fitzwallace and Anna Deavere Smith as Nancy McNally were two of my favorites. I also quite enjoyed Mark Feuerstein as Cliff Calley. He was the best of Donna's non Josh love interests.
I really wanted to see more of him and was hopeful when he was hired to be the new Josh.
Nancy calling Fitz "Admiral Sissy-Mary" was one of my favorite lines.
Nancy McNally was the best!!!
Still mad Emily Procter was never made a regular.
She was probably my favorite character tbh
Agreed, she was my favorite
she got offered CSI Miami instead
@@SanskarWagley Wasn't the same. Writing is everything (other than outstanding acting) and CSI Miami was just another formula cop show. She was wasted in it.
@@cdjhyoung Truly. I watched about 5 minutes and was bored. switched off and never watched again. She may be a fine actress but it was the writing that made her doing Ainsley Hayes special.
Alan Alda and Hal Holbrook and no mention of Stockard Channing???
Ah, Hal Holbrook, what a quality actor, what a character he delivered.
The video was about guest stars. Stockard Channing was eventually made part of the main cast.
How about Edward James Olmos as Judge Mendoza! Or William Fichtner as conservative Justice Christopher Mulready (opposite Glenn Close's liberal justice) in "The Supremes." Also, Kirsten Nelson who did such a brilliant job portraying the young Mrs. Landingham in "Two Cathedrals." And I loved David Huddleston's verbal sparring with President Bartlet in "Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics."
William Fichtner's appearance is discussed in another video. His performance was so powerful, they rewrote his part multiple times to include bits and pieces he interjected into that appearance. Imagine being so powerful an actor, playing across from Glen Close, and they adjust the script to highlight your contributions to it.
Fichtner and Close are so damn good in that episode, I want a show with just them talking about the law :)
Kristen Nelson was so brilliant in that role. She channelled
Kathryn Joosten perfectly. Absolutely everything was spot on, without going too far and becoming a caricature.
Huddleston is a LEGEND. Look at all the great stuff he was in!!
No mention of Karl Malden as the priest, loved that scene with Bartlett in the oval when they meet.
Too little of him! God, what a great face and presence here.
The late great Brian Dennehy had a few memorable scenes with the late great John Spencer.
So many brilliant actors! For me, the one who comes to mind is Tony Lee, who played the North Korean
pianist who wanted to defect in "Han." Such quiet dignity in every aspect of his performance!
Never mind me, just over here screaming LAURA DERN at my screen...
Same and Alan Alda
Pete Buckley THANK YOU
preach she waa fabulous
She was good 😊
@@petebuckley5138 I don't think Alan Alda counts as a guest star. He was a regular in the last season. Though admittedly so was Jimmy Smits and they mentioned him.
John Amos stole every scene he was in. He had the driest, wittiest and funniest lines in the whole series, and he delivered them flawlessly!
"Admiral Sissy-Mary". While Fitz was a great character, his interactions with Nancy McNally was dare I say it... legend-ary!
@@ReelMeurik Anna Deveare Smith was delightful in that role, wasn't she?
" We killed Yamamoto!"
Lily Tomlin edges him out, but by just a nose. "That come with tights and a cape?"
@@blackhawkswincup2010 Aggreed. She was funny as hell.
Why no Matthew Perry he was amazing in it
Life On Mars is one of my all time favourite episodes! good choice 😊
@@221BSam Life on Mars was pretty great but I think he was even better in Separation of Powers. I think he got nominated for an emmy for that episode.
I noticed that too... it happened to be around the time he was heavy into his drug use... could be he wasn't the most fun person to be around
Friends was still on the air, so they couldn't use him more
Emily Procter, John Goodman, Glenn Close, Alan Alda have been mentioned. Adam Arkin was also phenomenal. All great.
It was CJ who was in the meeting about Plouie. It’s not always about you, Lowe lol
Another guest star who at least deserves an Honorable Mention:
Clark Gregg as Agent Coul... sorry FBI Agent Mike Casper. Brought on to brief the President on a specific situation, eventually had a recurring role. Was very much a proto-Coulson type role for him, before his 12 year recurring stint in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
I saw somewhere that the bigwigs at Marvel saw him in West Wing and hired him for Coulson based on his performance.
@@KenS1267 Heard something similar about Mark Harmon (who played Agent Donovan in West Wing), and was later hired to play Leroy Jethro Gibbs in NCIS.
Not that I’m unhappy to see Marlee Matlin, but she was never a regular... she was in 17 episodes. Mary Louise Parker/John Amos were in 20+, Lily Tomlin was in the 30+. Wish they’d been included too
John Laroquette was one of my faves.
Best show there ever was or ever will be!
loved Emily Procter and wished there was more of her (and maybe a love connection with Rob Lowe’s character). Mary Louis was the only guest star I couldn’t stand.
Yes, yes and yes.
I’m sure if Allison Janney was there she would have said Timothy Busfield
Matthew Perry, Christian Slater, Janeanne Garafolo, Kristen Chenoweth, Timothy Busfield, Anna Deveare-Smith, Tim Matheson, Clark Gregg, Roger Rees, Adam Arkin, Ed O'Neil. the list is so long. so many great actors making so many great characters come to life.

@@chrisaultman1 yes. It's really that good.
@@chrisaultman1 LOL! Very cool. Good one!!
Pretty sure it was CJ who was being persuaded to create a wolves only roadway, but ok
You are absolutely right
It was 🙃 but... that character did try & persuade Sam to explore Fort Knox.
@@221BSam nope, it was Sam Lloyd who played the character trying to persuade Sam.
I was gonna say...
Matthew Leigh my bad 😟 I didn’t watch closely enough.
Emily Procter needed to be a regular. This was the most unfortunate decision.

Ron freaking Swanson!
I started to watch this show because I thought my late father would have liked it. My mom told me he loved the show. I’m on my third watch through now.

no mention of big bird ;)
“Code name Pericles Mr. President” - Admiral Fitz Wallace
Code Name Flamingo for CJ
What an amazing show. I’m so glad I finally finished it, worth the journey.
Loved all the guest stars just WOW!! But Mary Louise Parker
I'm sure MLP is a great actress, but I couldn't stand her character Amy.
I’m really surprised none of them mentioned Roger Rees (Lord John Marbury).
The mouse pointer over Kenny 😬

Ron Swanson's was very passionate about wolves thus he came up with the wolf migration proposal, but it was rejected by the white house and Ron has hated the government ever since.
They also had Juwon Howard in an episode's opening scene. I think that's the most surprising guest appearance
Is anyone else going to talk about the fact that they accidentally screen recorded the mouse in the clip at 2:50? Lol
Cue me shouting ALAN ALDA ALAN ALDA
Probably the most natural actor I've ever seen. SO present and seemingly effortless.
There is a difference between recurring characters and guest stars. Guest stars for the most part are only 1 off characters while recurring can be on several seasons multiple times.
this show, my god. I love it
Let's not forget Oliver Babish!
I was just chuffed to know Rizzo made good. MD & First lady. Not bad.
I always assumed they didn't have more of Emily Procter because Sorkin was having trouble writing so much dialogue in iambic pentameter.
Interesting nobody mentioned Matthew Perry...
No kidding! I thought he did a great job and hope they would keep him around for a few more episodes
J.K Simmons in Duck and Cover? (Ik there's others but they've been covered by other comments)
You worked so hard to get these people here for this series retrospective, and you screw up the audio? What?
John Larroquette really should have been mentioned but I get it, there were so many.
Guys
Don’t be too upset
The list of great actors that had great parts with great lines is too long for the character limit for RUclips comments
It would be a 3 x 2 hour mini-series on its own if they did a documentary around all the great guest stars that graced the screen of The West Wing
Alan Alda!!!
Ah - kindness.
I was waiting for Lionel Tribbey's actor, John Laroquette. Probably my favourite niche character over the whole thing. Shame.
Sorkin about Proctor: "And that is something I regret."
YO-YO MA RULES!
How’d you miss that arrow?
Nobody said Alan Alda? Astonishing
he was a cast member - had billing and credit - so technically not a guest
No one mentioned EJO??? Probably got edited out.
How about Mattew Perry and Mark Harmon?
I miss you guys. You were my introduction to American polity, as I'd just arrived stateside as a bright-eyed full-time student, and totally assumed that politics is the US is indeed this evolved, this esoteric, this ebullient. It took me a few years to realize that the show was fiction, not just in an obvious sense, but also on a deeper level, in that it represented Sorkin's imagination of a non-cynical, non-zero-sum idea of politics.

Glenn Close
John Goodman
Alan Alda
Matthew Perry
Oliver Platt
Jason Isaacs
Roger. Rees.
Who is DON Goodman?
Why is the audio on the some of these mics so dogshit?
Roger Rees missed... brilliant... but I guess the list is so large they missed more than they got..
I didn't know what Josh Malina looked like now, he aged like crazy compared to his time on WW
Yo Yo Ma rules!
Worst oversights. First, Roger Rees/Lord John Marbruy omitted -as has been said by Kings and Queens...and to roll in Jimmy Smits, who was was a series regular for the better part of two seasons. Hardly a guest star or recurring actor.
Why the filler to extend the run time?
Uh. Alan Alda?? Hello. No mention of him?? That’s bs.
No mention of Alan Alda? I guess it’s because they didn’t really interact with him that much.
No Lord John Marbury, Marquess of Needham and Dolby, Earl of Croy, Baronet of Brycey, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the United States from the Court of St. James's?
Not keeping the character of Ansley was stupid move
Ainsley over Donna
Ah Ainsley Hayes! No offence but I wish that she had been a regular instead of Donna.
me too
Hell no
Ainsley was wonderful - I understand why losing her was regret for Sorkin. I kind of joke that Ainsley might be the only Republican I'd want to marry and Arnold the only Republican I'd vote for.
