Gary Cole is Joining The West Wing
Variety
Gary Cole (The Brady Bunch Movie, Office Space) has been sworn in as the new vice president on the NBC drama The West Wing. The actor, who joins the popular series in its third episode, will appear in several episodes next season.
Cole will play Robert "Bingo Bob" Russell, a Colorado congressman who's appointed to the vacant position and immediately puts into action a few unconventional ideas.
The vice presidency became vacant last season after Tim Matheson's character, John Hoynes, resigned over a sex scandal.
Cole next appears in the DreamWorks feature Win a Date With Tad Hamilton, which is set for a First Quarter, 2004 release.
