A graduate of Princeton University and dropout of Duke Law School, Sam now servers as Deputy Communications Director. While his philandering (with a call girl and with Leo's daughter, Mallory) has gotten him into personal trouble, his professional life seems to remain on track. He is fiercely patriotic and a big proponent of education reform. Sam enjoys sailing in his spare time, and is known around the office as a klutz.

      Sam Seaborn is played by Rob Lowe.
