Smits in talks over West Wing role

Former 'NYPD Blue' star Jimmy Smits is in talks about joining the cast of political drama 'The West Wing'.

Variety reports that Smits would play a Houston congressman with great political ambitions.

Exact details of the character remain a secret, but Variety says it is likely he wants to be President.

Martin Sheen's character on the show, President Bartlet, is nearing the end of his second term in the White House.
