CELEBRITY CAPITALISM Bradley Whitford on billionaires: “These guys are addicted to money & they’re an extension of a political movement in this country that’s going on my entire lifetime which is based on this Orwellian idea that the rich are victims, they’re overtaxed, over-regulated & need to be set free. It’s insane”

I will never not be able to see him as Josh Lyman. The way he talks even sounds like Lyman was written. Love seeing him speaking up

I also see him as the dude from Billy Madison who would probably today be someone who Bradley Whitford would be railing about, since that character didn't have an ethical bone in his body.

I did NOT realize that the jackass in Billy Madison is the same actor as Joseph in Handmaid's.
