Woah he aged a lot!

So I never watched The West Wing when I was younger; just started now and I'm having a blast. I went on IMDB to see what all these actors have done, and while on BW's page I noticed his more recent pictures. And wow! Doesn't even look like the same guy. It's not that he even looks bad, just nothing like Josh Lyman. I re-watched Cabin in the Woods (when I saw it in theaters I did not know who he was) and it again blew my mind. Has this happened to any of you when looking up people who starred in shows maybe a decade ago that you're just now catching up on?

He still looked fairly good in The Good Guys and that was only a few years ago but I accidentally stumbled upon his new show The Trophy Wife and it looks like he's 20 years older. Speaking of The Trophy Wife, what a terrible show full and totally just a job he took to keep working on a regular basis. He was on The West Wing for year and even Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and The Good Guys only lasted a season each but for the most part were good quality shows, this is just hollywood dreck.

I watched all those shows. Trophy Wife was just as good as the rest. I thought it was really funny. It was well received by critics.

Just watching CBGB and thought he looked familiar but it took awhile to figure out who he was.

The west wing was nearly 20 years ago. The guy is 60 years old,he looks decent for his age.

I had a thing for Brad Whitford when he was in Studio 60, even though I'd already seen West Wing and didn't fancy him in that. But having watched this interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGSBHODuaUc I'm amazed at how much older he looks. He actually looks a lot like Michael Douglas, although Brad is 15 years younger.

Seriously dude, get out the "Just For Men".....

I started the show just recently, and I also stumbled upon his picture recently and didn't recognize him.

I thought it was John Slattery in the Save the Day voting PSA that came out in the last month ... totally surprised when I read it was Whitford! The silver hair and thick black glasses - I SWORE it was Slattery.

He's definitely aged, but the silver hair looks surprisingly good on him.
