EXCLUSIVE: Three-time Emmy winner Bradley Whitford has signed with Gersh for representation.

He received two subsequent nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in the series, which is entering its sixth and final season. He also made his directorial debut on the series this season with the penultimate episode, “Allegiance.”
