Bradley Whitford's credits in film, television and theater include work with some of the most noted writers, directors and playwrights in the arts, and constitute a career worthy of a Juilliard-trained actor - which he is. But stardom is something else altogether, and it remained elusive, at least. Bradley Whitford (born October 10, 1959) is an American actor. He is known for his portrayal of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman in the NBC television political drama The West Wing (1999–2006), for which he was nominated for three consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards from 2001 to 2003, winning in 2001. This role also earned him three consecutive Golden Globe Award nominations.

[Cue nostalgic piano remixed with crashing drums and the sound of patriotism:] Amy Landecker and Bradley Whitford were married this week.
She stars as Sarah Pfefferman on the Jewier-than-Jewish Amazon show “Transparent;” he had a guest-arc on the show in flashback sequences as her father’s friend, Marcy Hirschfeld. He stars as Commander Joseph Lawrence on “The Handmaid’s Tale;” she appeared on the show as Mrs. McKenzie.
He raised our adrenaline when he strategized as the beating Jewish heart of “The West Wing,” but she cemented her Jewish star in the Hollywood Yiddishkeit walk of fame when her character dated Larry David and Rosie O’Donnell at the very same time on “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
He played Andy Samberg’s dad. She played Louis C.K.’s mom. He did comedy on “The Sarah Silverman Program.” She did comedy in the Coen Brothers’ “A Serious Man.” Naturally, they’ve both done their time on “Law & Order.”
In a shocking, totally unearned plot twist, Commander Lawrence married Mrs. McKenzie today in Santa Barbara. The shark may have been jumped, but the couple is thrilled. pic.twitter.com/iPZtzCGbob— Bradley Whitford (@WhitfordBradley) July 18, 2019
In the TV show crossover event of the century, the two actors eloped in Santa Barbara on July 17. Landecker, 49, and Whitford, 59, who have entertained us for decades, are now officially charged with entertaining one another. The couple met in 2014 on the set of “Transparent” — so kudos and possibly a good spot in heaven for the show’s creator, Jill Soloway. Landecker says she tells Soloway, “You gave me the best role of my life and you gave me the best boyfriend of my life.” The two actors started dating in 2015, and Whitford announced their engagement in 2018 on Marc Maron’s podcast.
“I knew Bradley for a year before we dated and I kind of thought that he seemed like a cocky actor boy and I wasn’t really that interested,” Landecker toldPeople magazine in 2016. “Now I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.” Whitford and Landecker each have a single earlier marriage; Whitford has three children from his marriage and Landecker has one.

At the elopement, documented by Whitford on social media, the bride wore periwinkle and accessorized with a bouquet of white roses and the couple’s dog. The groom wore a navy suit, and led a matching dog.
A million mazels to the happy couple. Let us pray for many years of their health and happiness, and a strong character arc on “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” for both.

Hollywood celebrities are gloating over Twitter’s decision to slap President Donald Trump with a “fact check” of his recent tweets about vote by mail. Stars including Rob Reiner, Dave Bautista, George Takei, and Alyssa Milano have voiced their approval of Twitter’s actions against the president.
Twitter has appended a link to the bottom of two tweets from President Trump, encouraging people to “Get the facts about mail-in ballots.” The link takes users to a Twitter landing page that calls the president’s claims about potential voter fraud “unsubstantiated.”
But Twitter relied solely on left-wing media organizations CNN, NBC News, and The Washington Post as its fact-checking sources.
….living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get one. That will be followed up with professionals telling all of these people, many of whom have never even thought of voting before, how, and for whom, to vote. This will be a Rigged Election. No way!

Anti-Trump filmmaker Rob Reiner tweeted “adios amigo” after Twitter’s action on Tuesday.
MASSIVE. Twitter says it will put a warning label on the Lies and Disinformation tweeted by Trump. Since Trump is incapable of tweeting without lying, adios amigo. And don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Nope. Just correcting your lies.

The West Wing star Bradley Whitford called President Trump a conman, racist, and Russian puppet. He then tweeted to the president: “Fact check that, you malignant narcissist.”
Your incompetence led to the unnecessary deaths of tens of thousands of innocent Americans and destroyed the economy that @BarackObama built. You’re a racist birther, a puppet of Vladimir Putin and a conman. You’re destroying our future. Fact check that, you malignant narcissist. https://t.co/WalxYKVgiV

Prior to Twitter’s fact check against the president, some celebrities attempted to pressure the social media giant into deplatforming the commander in chief.
Bette Midler called President Trump “the most loathsome man on the planet” and tweeted out a New York Times opinion article that called for Twitter to “cleanse the Trump stain.”

Baldwin brother Billy Baldwin tweeted out the hashtag #TakeTrumoOffTwitter, citing among other reasons the president’s use of the terms “Psycho Joe” and “Obamagate.”
From Psycho Joe to Sleepy Joe.
From mail in ballot fraud to Connor Lamb fraud.
From Obamagate to Poligrip to buffet tables to skanks.
Translation: Trump sees the polls and 100,000 dead and is in full, tilt, boogie panic mode.#TakeTrumpOffTwitterpic.twitter.com/guX8wc2bsc
