Author Aaron Sorkin has already had Michael Douglas dance through the Oval Office in "The American President". Now he is directing a celebrated group of acting talent in "The West Wing" of the White House.

A darkly comic and award-winning ensemble drama of the highest order, produced by the team from "ER".
