The show revolves around the inner workings of the White House staff, showcasing their daily lives and the challenges they face while assisting the President. Here's a list of the main cast members who portrayed key characters in the show's ensemble cast.

- Allison Janney as C.J. Cregg. Janney played the frazzled-but-unimpeachable press secretary, a role for which she won four Emmys during the show's run. She's since gone on to continued success on TV (winning an Emmy for her role on Mom) and in movies (in films such as The Help, Juno and I, Tonya, for which she won an Oscar).

- Bradley Whitford as Josh Lyman. Whitford won an Emmy for his role as the brash, somewhat neurotic deputy chief of staff. He's worked steadily in movies and television since The West Wing ended.
