'Political Animals': Meet the Cast

James Wolk, who has appeared in "Happy Endings" and "Shameless," is Douglas Hammond, the other son of Elaine and Bud. While his brother, T.J. clearly fills the role of the bad boy, Douglas is the good boy – working for his mother…and taking her calls at all hours of the night. He's newly engaged, but doesn't appear to be that connected to his fiancée – or else he'd know she is battling some demons.
