Ahead of the WestWing special, ET spoke with DuleHill about seeing his castmates again, as well as the upcoming ShesAllThat remake starring whoisaddison.
The West Wing I did not. I mean, when the show ended, I really thought that that was the end of the show. I had no idea that 15 years later the show would still be as popular, if not even more popular, than it was at that time. It's an amazing experience. It's a humbling experience and I'm really thankful to be able to be a part of revisiting these characters and telling this story once again, at this time.
Sterling has a lot of strength in his performance. He doesn't have to do a lot to exude a lot of power. In that way, he did fit the role perfectly to step in and he's the perfect person to step into John Spencer's shoes. I think John would have been completely over the moon about Sterling stepping in for the role.
If we're going to revisit these characters and this episode, let it not fall short. That was always my thing being a part of this cast: "Dule, don't let your stuff be the weak link." If it was a great episode before, as a cast and crew, let's keep raising the bar. Let's keep doing better. If that was a great episode, if that was a great season, this next one has to be better. Let's not just rest on our laurels from yesterday.
There were a couple of surreal moments. There was one when I first arrived to base camp, I was able to see the trailers, and Allison and Rob and Martin and everybody. But then there was one time we all were in the theater together and we took a group shot, and that was a really surreal moment of, "Wow, here we are at the Orpheum Theatre where we shot." We had filmed there before. I didn't remember that we had filmed there before until I walked inside the theater.
