at that last Press Conference with Melissa McCarthy as Spicer, Sessions was introduced to the podium and spoke briefly and I thought it was Kate who plays Kellyanne. She was great as Sessions

He's got the stature and the accent! Here's an interview clip in case you don't recognize the name:

He's one of those character actors you see everywhere, did a recurring story in the last American Horror Story.
