Will McAvoy

Played by Will Mc Avoy

The anchor and managing editor of "News Night," Will is a moderate Republican-one of the few he can find--whose success is largely the result of never offending anyone. He's in a lot of pain and that manifests itself in a gruff exterior when he's off camera. His world is turned upside down when Mackenzie re-enters his life.
