A military newspaper said the episode featuring the funeral of White House Chief of Staff McGarry will air April 16 on NBC, the New York Post reported.
An Air Force color guard was used because the fictional character was an Air Force veteran, the Post said.
It was not revealed how the show planned on handling the loss of the actor, the Post said.
