Contents 1 Production 2 Cast 2.1 Main cast 3 Plot 4 Episodes 5 Specials 5.1 `` Isaac and Ishmael '' 5.2 `` Documentary Special '' 6 Reception 7 References Production The season premiere was delayed by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. When the season did return, the first episode was a special episode titled `` Isaac and Ishmael '', in which the main cast paid tribute to those affected by the attacks and informed viewers about what to expect from the delayed premiere. Series creator Aaron Sorkin acknowledged in October 2002 that the terrorism - related plots designed to keep the series relevant after the real - life attacks were awkward at times, saying `` from week to week, you felt like you were writing the show handcuffed, a little bit. I did n't know how to write it anymore. It was a constant search for what I was n't doing that used to make the show work. Maybe there was a way to make it work. There probably was. I was n't able to find it in twenty - two episodes. '' Cast The third season had star billing for nine major roles. Eight of these were filled by returning main cast members from the second season. Rob Lowe received star billing, while Martin Sheen received the final credit for his role as President Josiah Bartlet. The rest of the ensemble, now including previously recurring Stockard Channing, were credited alphabetically. Channing was only credited for the episodes in which she appears. Main cast Rob Lowe as Sam Seaborn, the Deputy Communications Director Stockard Channing as Abbey Bartlet, the First Lady Dulé Hill as Charlie Young, the Personal Aide to the President Allison Janney as C.J. Cregg, the White House Press Secretary Janel Moloney as Donna Moss, the Assistant to the Deputy Chief of Staff Richard Schiff as Toby Ziegler, the Communications Director John Spencer as Leo McGarry, the White House Chief of Staff Bradley Whitford as Josh Lyman, the Deputy Chief of Staff Martin Sheen as Josiah Bartlet, the President of the United States Plot The third season, covering the administration 's third and fourth years in office, begins with Bartlet announcing his intention to run for re-election and is dominated by the subsequent campaign. Other prominent story lines include a Congressional investigation into allegations Bartlet committed electoral fraud by concealing his MS, a death threat against C.J. and the ensuing relationship she develops with the Secret Service agent assigned to protect her, and Qumari defense minister Abdul Shareef 's planning of terrorist attacks against the US. The season finale resolves several of these story lines when Bartlet meets his electoral opponent and reaffirms his commitment to defeat him, finally decides to order Shareef 's assassination, and, just minutes after the man who threatened her is arrested, C.J. 's Secret Service agent interrupts a convenience store robbery and is killed.

Specials Two special episodes, not part of the official continuity, were produced to complement the series and were broadcast on NBC. Both episodes ran within the third season and were included on the season 's DVD. `` Isaac and Ishmael '' Written by series creator Aaron Sorkin and directed by Christopher Misiano, this episode was a terrorism - themed episode produced in the wake of the September 11 attacks.

The episode `` was written and produced in record time '' -- less than three weeks -- and aired on October 3, 2001. Although timely and well - intentioned, the episode was criticized for being condescending and preachy. `` Documentary special '' The second special interspersed the characters ' fictional lives with interviews of real West Wing personnel, including Presidents Ford, Carter, and Clinton ; press secretaries Marlin Fitzwater and Dee Dee Myers ; presidential advisors David Gergen, Paul Begala, and incumbent Karl Rove ; Secretary of State Henry Kissinger ; Chief of Staff Leon Panetta ; presidential personal secretary Betty Currie ; and speechwriter Peggy Noonan.
