9. The West Wing

O'Donnell was a writer/producer on The West Wing.

He knows how to envision and write an intelligent news conference and an intelligent President.

None of which we have in the current reality.

OT, although he did not write it (Sorkin did), he starred in one of the best TV dramatic episodes ever, The Two Cathedrals on The West Wing.

He played Bartlett's father when the future President was a young boy.
