Sam Seaborn
Samuel Norman "Sam" Seaborn is a fictional character portrayed by Rob Lowe on the television serial drama ''The West Wing''. He is Deputy White House Communications Director in the Josiah Bartlet administration throughout the first four seasons of the series.
The show was designed with Sam as the main character, and as such he is the protagonist of the pilot episode, and remains a focal point and lens for the show through at least the first season. However, by the time of his departure, his significance in the plot had decreased as the show started to focus more on the President's ability to govern despite obstacles such as his previously undisclosed multiple sclerosis, campaign for re-election, and increased focus on foreign policy and terrorism. The character of Sam had never been strongest in some of these areas and was not well-suited to being involved with considering his position in the hierarchy of the West Wing, resulting in the elevation of Martin Sheen's character President Josiah Bartlet simultaneously with Sam's decline.
==Creation and development==
The role of Sam Seaborn was initially offered to actor Bradley Whitford, who had auditioned for the part of Josh Lyman. However, Whitford wanted and was eventually given the role of Josh,〔Sassone, Bob (May 7, 2006). (A look back at The West Wing: Entertainment Weekly in 60 seconds ). ''TV Squad''. Retrieved on December 15, 2007.〕 and the part of Sam went to Rob Lowe, whose audition, said show creator Aaron Sorkin, "left our jaws on the floor".〔Sorkin, Aaron (2002). ''The West Wing Script Book''. New York: Newmarket Press. ISBN 1-55704-499-6〕
Sam's inept performance as a White House tour guide in the pilot episode may have been inspired by former Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart, who told the Chicago Tribune that despite having to give tours on a regular basis, he did not know whether the Roosevelt Room was named after Franklin or Teddy Roosevelt, saying, "I haven't gotten caught yet, but I've made up a few things."〔Topping, Keith (2002). ''An Unofficial and Unauthorized Guide to The West Wing: Inside the Bartlet White House''. London: Virgin Books Ltd.〕 (It is actually named after both Presidents Roosevelt.)
