Sigourney Weaver visited this morning's TODAY show to discuss her upcoming role on USA Network's POLITICAL ANIMALS. "Usually I'm playing people who I have to say in a nice way are quite eccentric or they've been put on the periphery for some reason," she told TODAY's Savannah Guthrie "This is the first character I think I've ever played that's so in the mainstream." Check out the interview below!

USA Network's highly-anticipated series POLITICAL ANIMALS pulls back the curtain on the polished facade of a former first-family as they navigate the complex world of political and personal ambition. From acclaimed producers Greg Berlanti and Laurence Mark, the series stars Sigourney Weaver, Carla Gugino, Ellen Burstyn, Ciarán Hinds, James Wolk, Sebastian Stan and Brittany Ishibashi.

POLITICAL ANIMALS premieres Sunday, July 15th at 10/9c on USA Network.
