Random Roles, wherein we talk to actors about the characters who defined their careers. The catch: They don’t know beforehand what roles we’ll ask them to talk about. The actor: Bradley Whitford first broke through as an actor on the stage, as befits someone who trained at Juilliard. But he soon made the jump to on- camera work, doing small roles in films and on TV series during the late ’8. Just as the ’9. 0s were wrapping up, however, Whitford scored the role that would take him from a “that guy” actor to a regular prime- time presence for the next seven seasons: Josh Lyman on The West Wing.

Happyish (2. 01. 5)—“Jonathan Cooke” Bradley Whitford: This guy is a dark soul. Luckily, it’s with two of my favorite actors. I’m playing it with .

Did you see her in Afternoon Delight? The A. V. Club: We just did this feature with John Kapelos, who shared a sex scene with her and Juno Temple. BW: ! I had not seen it when Transparent came up—because, you know, Jill . You never once looked me in the eyes when you came. Not once.” ? She was unbelievable.

AVC: So how did you find your way into Happyish in the first place? Was it a standard audition, or did they approach you specifically? BW: They approached me. I’d been aware of it when Phil . I’m from Madison, Wisconsin, and we have a really terrible union- busting, anti- education governor named Scott Walker, and apparently the thing that got me Happyish was a speech at a labor rally that’s on You.

Tube that Shalom . So go figure. And something like this in my world is an absolute no- brainer. It’s people I love, and you know that Showtime real estate is precious real estate for writers and actors. It’s a no- brainer. AVC: What did you think about the tone of the series? Because it’s definitely not for the faint of heart. It’s challenging for me.

I have a 1. 2- year- old daughter. I have three kids.

And, yeah, it’s very, very, very, very, very, very dark. And I’ll tell you, quite honestly, I sometimes have mixed feelings about it. I’m being totally honest. So I struggle with that because, you know, you can’t offend me unless I think you’re just trying to offend me. But my daughter’s friend, she’s 1. I said, “No, no, no!

No, no, no no!”AVC: As a father with a 9- year- old daughter, I absolutely take your point. BW: “Mommy, why is Daddy saying ?

AVC: And we have our first pull quote of the interview. BW: . I forget the character’s name, but it was a movie. AVC: That is also on IMDB, although they just call it Doorman. BW: Well, that was actually directed by Henny Youngman’s son, Gary.

I didn’t realize he was Henny Youngman’s son until I saw his child in a onesie that said, “Take my grandson. Please.” That’s when I realized, “Oh, are you. And then on The Equalizer, what I remember about that was—here’s an acting tip: Don’t make the choice of chewing tobacco in a role if you don’t chew tobacco. It really made me ill. I didn’t feel good. I think I threw up. Beli, Beli Svet Full Movie.

That’s when I realized that integrity when you’re acting is overrated. I grew up in Wisconsin. It’s not like growing up in New York or L. A., where you know somebody’s cousin who does this.

It was in the back of my mind, but I would never say that I wanted to be an actor, but as I look back, I was in every play I could possibly be in. I went away to college at Wesleyan University and was an English major, but I kept doing plays, and I became a theater/English major. And it wasn’t until I applied to grad school and I got into Juilliard. AVC: And yet you pulled it off. BW: Well, you know, I was very lucky.

Juilliard was four years, and I called it “med school with guaranteed unemployment at the end.” And it ends, you’re getting ready to go out and be an actor, and. Absolutely nothing is happening. I was catering an event at the Philip Morris executive dining room, which was, like, a Nazi bunker.

You’d have to arrange these bouquets of cigarettes, and you’d hear these guys talking about the big market opening up with Chinese girls. I mean, it was just horrifying.

But then suddenly I got a part in a play called Curse Of The Starving Class, with Kathy Bates. It was an incredible job, but I got it because Bill Pullman—and I have subsequently thanked him for this—dropped out to go do a movie. So I had to go in in a week. And in this part, you have to urinate onstage, and you have to walk out completely buck naked, straight toward the audience, and squat, which is what everybody who’s naked wants to do, and pick up a lamb, who I called “Meryl Sheep.”AVC: Of course you did. BW: So it was a very wonderful, terrifying first job. AVC: And yet it seems like it could also be the perfect example of an “It’s all downhill from here” situation.

BW: Well, I find a way to make my good fortune seem like it’s victimizing me. But, no, that was such a wonderful job.

And when you finish these wonderful jobs, you think, “Oh, God, I’m so spoiled!” Like, after West Wing, it was, like, “Oh, my God, how does that happen again?” But it’s a good problem. It’s white actor plight. AVC: There’s a hashtag for you. I’ll post that, along with my 8- by- 1. ER (1. 99. 5)—“Sean O’Brien” BW: Oh, wow. Yeah, that was incredibly exciting. It’s interesting, I just saw that again, because I think it was the 2.

The moment I read that script, I thought, “Oh, this is gonna be something.” It’s just such an excruciating situation. By the way, Anthony Edwards—and I’m not saying this because he’s a friend, although he is—his acting in that episode is as good as it gets. You’ll see certain performances, and I’ve done certain performances, where you might as well be wearing a placard around your neck that says, “Please nominate me.” But Anthony was a very important reason why that show worked. On shows, there are people who end up being kind of the acting captains, and he set an amazing tone. It was very exciting to shoot. ER was this absolute bonkers phenomenon at that time.

I remember we were shooting this one thing, and all of a sudden Steven fucking Spielberg comes around the corner and says, “Why don’t you try it like this?” And I’m, like, “What? Steven Spielberg is at the monitor!” . My sister is a nurse who delivered babies, and it really upped the unnecessary paranoia of young mothers, that something like that could happen.

But that was just an amazing group to work with, and at a moment where there was incredible excitement about the public reaction to the show. The Sarah Silverman Program (2. Toby Grossnickel” BW: That was fun. I’d do anything for Sarah. I’d do, like, yardwork for her. She makes me laugh very, very hard, and I loved that show. I remember a really nice atmosphere on the set, loose and fun.

I also remember that her dog was there. But she was gorgeous and funny; there were a lot of really funny people around; and it was just fun. BW: I love working with Matt . Matt is truly one of the funniest people on the planet, and we had so much fun. I’ve been very lucky to have worked as much as I have, and back when you’re doing, like, 2. I don’t like to watch.

I guess it’s like touch football: It’s really fun to do, but it’s a shitty spectator sport, I think. I got in trouble when I was directing the last episode, because . Often guest directors come in, and as an actor, it’s kind of a pet peeve where you’ve got, like, a hundred people staring at you, holding lights and mikes at you, and these guest directors will come in and they’ll go, “Okay, are we rolling? Okay, we’re rolling.

Guys, are you ready? You don’t need to do that. Action!” Like, a totally humiliating, devastating note, and then, “Action!” ! Action!” Or, “Guys, are we quiet? Quiet, guys! Action!” So, yeah, that was a fun day.
