hit the town with wife for the premiere of The Diplomat season 2.
The 77-year-old actor — who plays President William Rayburn on the hit Netflix series — stepped out with his wife of 25 years for the season 2 premiere at The Plaza in New York City on Oct. 28.

The couple first met in the 1970s and later reconnected on the set of the 1998 Lifetime movie Final Justice.
The actress recalled to in 2018 that she realized that she wanted a future with McKean during their first date at a benefit concert where , and Van Morrison played. “I would have married him that day,” O’Toole said with tears in her eyes.
“As a gag, I told her, ‘And they said it wouldn’t last,’ but nobody said that,” McKean added. “They were like, ‘Of course, duh.’ “
The pair went on to tie the knot in March 1999.

Since getting married, they have continued to work together on screen. McKean guest starred on Smallville, in which O’Toole played Clark Kent’s mother. They’ve also played Topanga’s parents on Boy Meets World.
O’Toole and McKean have also collaborated on music. In 2004, one of the pair’s songs was included on a Disney album called World of Happiness. The duo was even nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song at the 2004 Academy Awards for their song “A Kiss At the End of the Rainbow” from the movie A Mighty Wind.
When not working, the couple read to each other every night — even when they are in different locations.
“Michael has a very mellifluous voice,” the actress told in 2022. “I get up really early in the morning, so, I’m really tired by the end of the night, and his voice completely puts me to sleep, not because I’m bored, but because it’s so soothing.”
