LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Bradley Whitford is taking a break from his White House duties to shoot a couple of films for the summer.
The "West Wing" actor will begin his hiatus by shooting the teen coming-of-age story "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Based on the novel by Ann Brashares of the same name, "Pants" centers on four teenage friends who must spend the summer apart for the first time. Although they are all different sizes and shapes, they can somehow magically fit the same pair of secondhand jeans perfectly. They decide to circulate these jeans among themselves on their respective vacations as a way to keep in touch.
Whitford will play opposite Nancy Travis ("Becker"), Alexis Bledel ("Gilmore Girls"), Amber Tamblyn ("Joan of Arcadia"), Blake Lively, America Ferrera and Jenna Boyd ("The Missing").
Ken Kwapis will direct from Delia Ephron's script.
Whitford has also booked a part in the Regency Enterprises' romantic comedy "Little Manhattan." The Emmy-winning actor last appeared in 2001's "Kate & Leopold."
