bradley whitford’s scary new fox series [or how josh lyman has not aged well]
Bradley Whitford (The West Wing, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip) is co-starring in a new Fox series next year called Jack and Dan, where he plays Dan, a drunken, lecherous, wild-card cop who hangs onto his job only because of a heroic act years before. (Colin Hanks plays Jack.) Brad did a local news interview the other day, embedded above, where he sports maybe the worst mustache I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
And that mustache broke my heart.
He sounds like Josh Lyman, but he looks like a disgraced semi-retired porn star.
If Donna Moss saw that mustache, she would reclaim her Canadian citizenship and go back to the guy who stopped for a beer on the way to pick her up from the hospital. That’s how gross that mustache is.
That mustache is so gross it’s probably going to cost Santos reelection.
The show looks good, but I’m not going to be able to watch it if it involves the goddamn mustache.
So glad I’m not the only one to feel like this!
Also heartbroken, or at least cured of my crush.
Although I generally find that five seconds into a West Wing episode, I forget all thoughts of the moustache (British spelling, sorry), melt, swear undying love for Josh Lyman and then remember that he’s spoken for… Sigh.
