Comedienne's Second TV Show Canceled This Year
'Red Widow' Gets The Axe
'The West Wing' Cast: Where Are They Now?
Once you enter 'The West Wing,' you never really leave. The cast members of the award-winning NBC drama, which premiered 11 years ago on Sept. 22, 1999, can't seem to let each other go -- they've often paired up on other shows since the series ended in 2006.
Interestingly, many of these pairings have taken place in shows on the USA network. Maybe it's due to the drama's huge cast of regulars and recurring characters, the stranglehold NBC Universal had on these actors, or the fact that they all liked working with each other.
So, where is the cast of 'The West Wing' now? Doing a lot of television and, as usual, pairing up. Here's a breakdown:

Martin Sheen
(Josiah Bartlet)
