Still, Bradley didn’t let his absence for the big moment get in the way of reminiscing about the series.
“My God, the writing on The West Wing,” his posts on X continued. “Those characters. Played by people I love and admire and get to be part of a family with for the rest of my life. As Janel said in her beautiful piece, it was, and somehow continues to be, a privilege. A gift.”
The actor went on to praise The West Wing crew, as well as its creator Aaron Sorkin and his late costar John Spencer, who died in 2005 just before the series’ last season aired.
“I’m thinking of our incredible crew,” Bradley added. “Of the hundreds of people you never saw who made this happen. I’m thinking of Aaron. Of the miracle of a brilliant writer sitting in a room and having an idea that made all of this possible. And I’m thinking of John Spencer. Of how much we miss him. Of what a kick he would have gotten out of tonight.”
