I think the secondary cast really added a gently caress ton to this show, especially after the main characters had played all their notes like fifty times each. I also never really dug Mary McCormack or Joshua Malina - in anything. Ron Silver as Bruno Gianelli was my favorite bit character. He was pretty riveting, and he threw some really, really good speeches. Totally inhabited the character, and I loved the shtick with Margaret. Next fave is John Amos as Percy Fitzwallace. John Amos was on the freaking Mary Tyler Moore show, on which also he nailed a great character and lifted the show. Also, Oliver Platt as the Attorney General. Even that small guy who played Clifford Calley nailed all his scenes, especially after his 6th season return. I think this show started tacking towards bad when Mark Harmon's secret service love interest for CJ got shot. It still had some good poo poo left, but if you divide the show into "Sorkin" "Early Post-Sorkin" and "Santos Campaign" eras, the last one is the worst.
