Completely outside of the real world, has anyone watched the show The Resident? It's about a murder during a state dinner at the white house. I wouldn't exactly call it a great show but AL Franken (not someone I am admittedly a fan of) shows up as a senator sparring against a lunatic conservative senator name "Marjorie".

I worked in the Covid Compliance Department for the first block of the season (Covid regulations ended in May 2023). I really enjoyed my time on the show and the WH sets were incredible. The wrap party was even held at the "White House". Definitely one of the cooler experience of my Hollywood career.

Wow, that was in production a long time ago. The sets were amazing, and it has a huge cast. I can bet that was a cool thing to be involved with!

I started in November 2022! It was pretty wild. Between the strikes and Andre Braugher's tragic passing it took until May 2024 to finish production. It was definitely very cool!

Was Braugher originally supposed to play the role of the chief usher that Giancarlo Esposito had? I think Esposito was wonderful in that role but it would have been right up BraugherтАЩs alley. RIP

Yessir. He was excellent. I got to see some of his footage at the wrap party and it was absolutely tragic but Esposito was great too.

ItтАЩs a great show. I really like the whole cast, the guy they found to play Perry Morgan was a great тАЬTV PresidentтАЭ
