Tim Matheson on The West Wing...
...if you've ever watched The West Wing then you might've recognized Matheson as Vice President Hoynes.
And not to spoil anything (the shows been off the air for 10 years), but his character could be seen as a continuation of Otter in the sense that he's a womanizing politician who likes to drink. Granted, in the show his character goes to AA meetings, but he makes the remark at one point that "I discovered when I was in college that I really liked beer."
Anybody else think this?
