>>> BRADLEY WHITFORD LOVES
KEEPING US ON OUR TOES.
FOR SEVEN YEARS, STARRING ON THE
EMMY-WINNING SHOW "THE WEST WING
WING."
THEN SCARED THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF
US IN "GET OUT."
>> NOW HES IN THE NEW SEASON OF
"THE HANDMAIDS TALE."
>> 86 CHILDREN WERE HELPED TO
ESCAPE FROM THE REPUBLIC OF
GILEAD INTO CANADA THE LAST
SEASON,
CHARACTER IS TRYING TO STOP THIS
FROM TURNING INTO A WAR.
>> IF GILEAD CAN LET THOSE
CHILDREN GO AS A SIGN OF GOOD
FAITH, THINK OF IT AS BILOTATERA
PROGRESS.
TRADE TALKS, MIGHT BE ABLE TO
KICK START THE U.N.
>> WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT FEW
WEEKS WILL DICTATE THE FUTURE OF
THIS COUNTRY.
>> BRADLEY JOINS US THIS
MORNING.
WHAT ARE YOU SITTING ON?
IS THAT LOOKS SO COZY AND
COMFORTABLE.
>> WEVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT.
>> THIS IS IZZY.
THIS IS OTIS.
AND I LOVE IT WHEN I GET TO SEE
YOU GUYS.
ITS KIND OF FUN TO DO THE
"TODAY" SHOW SITTING WITH YOUR
DOGS.
I GOT TO SAY.
>> I KNOW.
NICE AND COZY, TOO.
SO LETS GET US CAUGHT UP HERE.
I DONT WANT TO GIVE ANY
SPOILERS, OF COURSE, BUT WHAT
CAN WE EXPECT GOING INTO THE NEW
SEASON?
>> ITS PRETTY WILD.
ITS A VERY WILD SEASON.
MAX WAS SAYING THAT YOU CAN TELL
THE WRITERS ARE GETTING A LITTLE
FRISKY.
ITS -- THIS ROLE IS SO
FASCINATING, AND I LOVE BEING
ABLE TO WORK WITH LIZZIE MOSS,
WHO I MET WHEN SHE WAS 17 YEARS
OLD.
>> WOW.
>> ON "THE WEST WING."
IT IS SO AMAZING.
SHE IS THE CREATIVE CENTER OF
THIS SHOW.
I GET TO MEET UP WITH THIS
WOMAN, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL DECADES
LATER, AND SHES NOT A LITTLE
KID ANYMORE.
SHE IS ABSOLUTELY THE CREATIVE
CENTER, AND IT IS REALLY
INTERESTING.
BECAUSE IN THE SAME WAY I FEEL
LIKE SHE IS LEADING ME, I THINK
HER CHARACTER IS ACTUALLY
LEADING LAWRENCE AT THIS POINT.
IM NOT EVEN SURE IF HE IS AWARE
OF IT.
BUT SHE IS LEADING ME.
I DONT KNOW WHERE IT IS GOING
TO END UP, BUT IT IS A
FASCINATING RIDE.
>> WE KNOW YOU END UP IN THE DOG
PARK FROM TIME TO TIME.
AND YOU SAY YOU GET YOUR
INSPIRATION THERE AT THE DOG
PARK, LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT
BREEDS.
SO WHAT KIND OF BREED IS
COMMANDO LAWRENCE FROM
"HANDMAIDS TALE"?
>> WELL, I HAVE A REALLY
PATHETIC DOG PARK STORY.
I THINK HE IS KIND OF A
COMBINATION BETWEEN AN ALASKAN
MALAMUTE
MALAMUTE, AND HE IS REAL SMART
AND UNREADABLE LIKE A MALAMUTE
BUT SMART LIKE AN AUSTRALIAN
SHEPHERD.
DURING THE PANDEMIC, I HAD TO
LEAVE.
I LIVE IN PASADENA, AND I WENT
TO TORONTO TO SHOOT.
ITS A TWO-WEEK QUARANTINE.
WHEN I FINALLY GOT OUT, I WOULD
JUST GO TO THE DOG PARK EVERY
DAY.
BECAUSE I WAS SO PATHETICALLY
LONELY.
>> AW.
>> AND THIS WOMAN ONE DAY, WHO I
SAW THERE, VERY SWEET CANADIAN
WOMAN.
SHE CAME OVER AND SAID, OH, SHE
SAID, I SEE YOU HERE EVERY DAY.
WHICH ONE IS YOURS?
I SAID, OH, I DONT HAVE A DOG
HERE.
IM JUST REALLY LONELY.
SHE STEPPED AWAY FROM ME LIKE I
WAS A --
>> I BET SHE DID.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> BEFORE WE RUN OUT OF TIME,
YOU SHOULDNT BE LONELY BECAUSE
YOU HAVE ABOUT 12 BILLION
PROJECTS, IM READING HERE.
BEFORE WE RUN OUT OF TIME, TELL
US QUICKLY ABOUT THIS HILARIOUS
NEW PODCAST CALLED "A TOTAL
SWITCH SHOW."
>> THIS IS WITH ZOE DEUTSCHE.
IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.
LIKE, I DONT GET TO DO MUCH
VOICEOVER STUFF, AND IT WAS AN
ABSOLUTE BLAST.
I LOVED IT.
>> BRADLEY, YOU HAVE SO MUCH
GOING ON.
WERE EXCITED FOR THE NEW SEASON
TO COME OUT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US
THIS MORNING, AND ENJOY THOSE
DOGS.
>> UNDER HIS EYE.
