"  Photo: USA Network/Andrew Eccles USA&amp;#039;s D.C.-based family drama, Political Animals, doesn&amp;#039;t premiere until Sunday, and its star, Sigourney Weaver\u2014who plays a badass Hillary Clinton-esque Secretary of State\u2014is already poised to become every smart gal&amp;#039;s summer girl-crush. But it&amp;#039;s her on-screen sons that are bona fide crushable: James Wolka and Sebastian Stan. The former plays the faithful good kid-turned-chief of staff with Kennedy looks and a troubled wife-to-be. Stan takes on the role of a smoldering, gay wild child who throws back booze with the family&amp;#039;s bon mot-slinging grand dame, played by Ellen Burstyn. Together, the brothers offer a sample of the alluring and insidious life found in the capital. The guys dish on their legendary female co-stars, their menswear idols, and what it takes to be a political animal. Name: Sebastian Stan Age: 28 Provenance: New York, New York (by way of Romania) Relationship status: Single On Ellen Burstyn&amp;#039;s Old Hollywood charms: &amp;quot;She just has this smile that&amp;#039;s as if you&amp;#039;re seeing an 18 year-old girl with an infectious brightness about her. But she can just go instantly to this other place, like dark side of the moon.&amp;quot; On getting career advice from Sigourney Weaver: &amp;quot;I was literally watching Allien in my trailer on my iPad. Sigourney told me how she&amp;#039;s always been very particular with her choice of projects, and how it&amp;#039;s really up to you to put your foot down about the kind of work you want to do. She filmed all of these science fiction movies and could have just kept doing that. Instead, she did some theater, Working Girl, Gorillas in the Mist\u2026&amp;quot; On the diet of a political animal: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m approaching 30\u2014which is crazy!\u2014and I feel like I should be more aware of what&amp;#039;s going on in the world. But it&amp;#039;s so hard to get news now. You have to make sure you go to a lot of different sources. You can&amp;#039;t just get your information from Fox, MSNBC or CNN\u2014because everyone&amp;#039;s got an angle.&amp;quot; Name: James (&amp;quot;Jimmy&amp;quot;) Wolk Age: 27 Provenance: Detroit, Michigan Relationship status: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m dating someone. A special someone.&amp;quot; On the Political Animals role that passed him by: &amp;quot;I wanted to play Margaret, Ellen Burstyn&amp;#039;s character [the Secretary of State&amp;#039;s cocktail-guzzling, outspoken mother], but they weren&amp;#039;t open to that for some reason.&amp;quot; On whether his parents interfere with his relationships the way his onscreen family does: &amp;quot;Oh, you mean, do my parents call when I&amp;#039;m having sex? All the time! No, my parents are so relaxed, it&amp;#039;s unbelievable.&amp;quot; On his style Sherpa: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m always wearing suits [on-screen], and I have to be honest, I really like it. I&amp;#039;m old fashioned that way. But in my everyday life, I&amp;#039;m a jeans and button-up shirt kind of guy. Paul Newman is my style idol. You look at what he wore 50 years ago, and I feel like people are still trying to copy that style now. He knew what was up.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
