Adrian Pasdar will play the president on USA’s upcoming Political Animals miniseries, which premieres July 15. He’ll play the kinda-sorta Obama to Sigourney Weaver’s kinda-sorta Hillary Clinton, and his character is described in the script as “part Clooney, part Sinatra … too good-looking to be that smart and too smart to be that good looking.” Sold.
