25 Mind-Blowing Facts About The West Wing

19. Aaron Sorkin Used The Same Oval Office In The West Wing As He Did In The Films "The American President" And "Dave"

West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin also wrote the films "Dave" and "The American President" - both of which contained the same Oval Office set used in the show.

Dave was a 1993 comedy in which a man impersonates fictional President Bill Mitchell, while The American President is a comedy-drama in which widowed President Andrew Shepherd (Michael Douglas) falls in love with lobbyist Sydney Ellen Wade (Annette Bening).

Interestingly, Martin Sheen appears in The American President as AJ MacInerney and Joshua Malina plays a character called David.
