Political Animals – Season 2012

Matt Webb Mitovich

Bud Hammond

(played by Ciaran Hinds, Rome)

Overflowing with bravado and not at all too shy to hail himself as “the meat” in the “Big Mac” that is his political party, Bud is somewhat oblivious to the part of his Oval Office legacy that was littered with illicit affairs — and in fact he is anxious to jump back into the game. To that end (and as he keeps company with a quite bodacious primetime soap starlet), he is forever working angles with ex-wife Elaine, lining himself up for what very well may be a showstopper of a political encore.
