It's hot inside the Actors Studio

'If I were NBC, I would hold another election, bring in a whole new cast and go another eight years!" This is what actor John Spencer, who plays the aide to "West Wing" president Martin Sheen, has to say.
Hmmm ... "The West Wing" has already signed up the great Alan Alda, for its next go-round. Alda is researching to find out how to play a Republican candidate. Alda as a Republican! It boggles the mind.
Spencer has quite a concept. Yes, let the newly elected TV president be a George W. Bush-type Republican and let the series show what it is like for the GOP to be in charge. This would change the cast, tone and intent, and since half the country seems to be voting with the red states, I think it would be a popular idea to say the least.
