Sorkin says his revival idea would involve “Sterling K. Brown as the president, and there’s some kind of jam, an emergency, a very delicate situation involving the threat of war or something, and (President) Bartlett, long since retired, is consulted in the way that Bill Clinton used to consult with Nixon.” But that’s all he’s figured out. He hasn’t found a place for Allison Janney, Bradley Whitford or any other original cast member. And Sorkin insists that there won’t be a President Trump. “Trump is exactly what he looks like: a really dumb guy with an observable psychiatric disorder,” says Sorkin. UPDATE: Sterling K. Brown responded to Sorkin: "if you are serious, sir, I would be honored!" That prompted This Is Us executive producer Ken Olin to tweet: "Um. No. You belong on @NBCThisisUs and I know about 20 million people who won’t let you go." To which Brown responded: "I'm talkin' 'bout later, man! Geez."

Martin Sheen hasn't seen This Is Us, but he would be cool with Sterling K. Brown becoming the next West Wing president
“I have heard of him, but I have not seen the show, so I couldn’t speak to his talent” says Sheen, responding to Aaron Sorkin saying he would cast Brown as the president if he were to bring back The West Wing. “But if Aaron were to choose him, I would have 100 percent confidence in him.”
