Bradley Whitford wants you to know your vote matters and he’s doing his part to ensure people show up to the polls in the 2020 presidential election.
Bradley Whitford has always used his platform to raise awareness for social issues and continues to do so by encouraging people to cast their ballets.
“The thing I’m working on right now is basically trying to make sure that everybody gets registered to vote, it’s the most important thing to me. So that’s what I’m working on,” he told The Voluntourist at the TCA panel for his new NBC show “Perfect Harmony.”

“It’s important for me, especially in these difficult confusing times, for young people to understand that the future is an act of their imagination and of their creation. They are not at the mercy of a future that they don’t have an opportunity to help build,” he added.
Last year cast members of Aaron Sorkin’s award-winning political drama “The West Wing,” reunited for a special PSA telling people to vote, and now Whitford is doing even more to help.
“Well, we’re trying to get the word out. We’re trying to actually go through schools, through community colleges, and get to young people. I’m trying to do as much as I can going to colleges and talking to young people and making sure the colleges are making it as easy as possible for kids to vote.”
While Bradley Whitford continues to be actively involved in political causes, he’s also working nonstop in TV and film. When he’s not a college inspiring people to vote, you can see him in Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which he earned an Emmy nomination for outstanding guest actor in a drama series, NBC’s “Perfect Harmony,” which debuts September 26th and “Godzilla: King of the Monsters.”
