8. Ainsley Hayes
Show: The West Wing Played by: Emily Procter One of the most memorable The West Wing peripheral characters is the southern, feisty, and adorable Ainsley Hayes. Hayes enters the show in the second season as woman who smacked down Rob Lowes Sam Seaborn on the fictional political talk show Capital Beat, which lead to President Bartlett hiring her. She is known for her sweet tooth (Are you going to eat that muffin?) and love of Fresca (which the White House never had for her) and remembered for being a blonde Republican sex kitten. Its hard not to laugh when she finally meets President Bartlett while shes dancing and drinking in a bathrobe to Blame it on the Bossa Nova in the White House cellar (aka her office).
Fun Fact: Plays the trombone and is Harvard educated.
