Keith Carradine has played President Conrad Dalton on the CBS drama since its debut in 2014, and raves about his co-star Téa Leoni, who also serves as a producer on the show.

“She sets the tone. She’s the best of the best. She’s really good at what she does. She cares deeply about the quality of the show, the work, and she takes the work very seriously. She doesn’t take herself seriously at all.”




As the fictional commander-in-chief, he’s very aware that his series has become “aspirational” for Americans frustrated with the current political climate.

“We all want to leave the world a better place than when we got here, and we all want to do what we can to enhance people’s lives and fix problems,” Carradine says. “This show gives us a fantasy world where that’s still done with civility.”
