Whitford Says a Short-Run Return to 'The West Wing' Could Be Worth Doing

Bradley Whitford, a member of the original cast of "The West Wing," said in an interview with Variety that the political drama could come back as a series with a set number of episodes. He described the idea in general terms and did not give a timeline, a network or a cast list. The item also mentions the show's creator, Aaron Sorkin; the available excerpt does not say what part, if any, he would have. In Beverly Hills, where much of the television business lives and works, an idea like this from one of a show's own actors usually draws attention well before anything is announced.
