It remains widely regarded as one of the greatest TV shows of all time, not only for its popular ‘walk and talk’ shooting style (typically a one-camera tracking shot) and fast-paced dialogue, but its central themes of idealism, duty and optimism, especially around American politics.
“It’s civic porn,” Whitford tells Radio Times. “It's progressive pornography, like really well-intentioned, well-informed people trying to make the world better. It's insane.”
Though Whitford – who stars in the new Colleen Hoover film adaptation Reminders of Him – has “so many” fond memories from the seven seasons on the show, one of his favourite on-set memories comes from a special guest star’s performance.

He was supposed to be playing in – we used to have a thing at the White House called the East Wing – and he was playing the East Wing, and Yoyo played his side.
“He was so generous with everybody. Then just take after take, finding my eye line while the greatest cellist maybe ever lived is playing this thing for me.”
Looking back, Whitford feels “so lucky” to have been part of the close-knit ensemble cast, that featured Martin Sheen, Allison Janney, Richard Schiff, Rob Lowe, Janel Moloney and John Spencer.
Reminders of Him is out now in cinemas.
