Jason Stark

responsive technically authoritative crisis-essential

C.J. Cregg's trusted JPL conduit, Jason Stark stands primed as the White House's lifeline for unraveling space crises. When Galileo's signal vanishes, she barks his name into the night, demanding updates to steel Sam's briefing against mounting stakes. Off-stage, his expertise channels NASA's frantic recovery—probe contact flickering amid Bartlet's exploratory fire—forging an invisible tether between Pasadena labs and Pennsylvania Avenue's command pulse. Reliability surges through C.J.'s urgent reflex, marking him as the steady hand in mission blackout chaos.
