Julie White is having a very, very big week.
In addition to actress returning to television with Netflix’s DESIGNATED SURVIVOR, White is also nominated for a Tony—her third—for “Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus.” (White previously won Best Actress in a Play for 2007’s “The Little Dog Laughed”; she also got a Best Featured Actress in a Play nod for 2015’s “Airline Highway.”)
“It’s not my first time at the rodeo; I am kind of familiar with it,” she says with a laugh. “There’s a lot of logistics involved. You want to publicize your show as much as possible, which means going to dinner events and cocktail parties and interviews…it’s kind of fun and glamorous out of your every work day life. But you do have to go do the show every night!”

When DESIGNATED SURVIVOR returns for its third season on Friday, June 7, there will be a number of obvious changes: a new home (Netflix, after its ABC cancellation), new faces (including Anthony Edwards and Julie White), and longer episodes that dive deeper into current social issues as President Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland) runs for re-election.
Off-camera, there was also a transition, as Neal Baer (ER, LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT, UNDER THE DOME) stepped in to run the series.
