Grace and Frankie

Martin Sheen delivers a deeply nuanced performance as Robert Hanson in 'Grace and Frankie,' embodying the complex emotions of a man confronting unexpected life changes with grace and vulnerability. Unlike his intense and often authoritative roles in projects like 'The West Wing,' Sheen brings a more subdued and tender approach to Robert, showcasing his versatility as an actor. A trivia fact: Martin Sheen chose his stage name as a tribute to famed poet Archibald MacLeish (whose middle name was "Sheen"), distancing his identity from his given name, Ramón Estévez.

Sam Waterston delivers a nuanced and heartfelt performance as Sol Bergstein in the TV series 'Grace and Frankie,' bringing a blend of warmth and complexity to the character. Unlike his authoritative and often morally grounded roles in shows like 'Law & Order,' his portrayal of Sol showcases his versatility by embracing a more comedic and vulnerable side. A trivia fact: Waterston's involvement in 'Grace and Frankie' reunited him with Martin Sheen, as they had previously worked together in 'The West Wing.'
