'The Politician': First Look at Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Lange, Ben Platt and More Stars in Character
Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, the series follows the story of"an impossibly driven young" teenager named Payton Hobart , who dreams of becoming the president of the United States. But until he graduates, he'll have to navigate his high school's treacherous political landscape to get elected student body president and secure a spot at Harvard.
"[Payton is] grappling with his ambition versus his lack of empathy and his struggles with whether or not he might have an inability to see other people's feelings in the face of his own goals," Platt told ET in April."It was a very fascinating character to get to play ... to play someone that's a bit more conniving and self-centered and conceited was a fun challenge.
