I'm One Of Those Cliff-hanging

I Was The Last One To Join The Cast Of The West Wing And When I Started It Was Just A Peripheral Character - The Focus Was To Be On The Staff, Not The First Family. When I Did The Pilot, My Contract Was For Just Three Years And It Was Confined To Maybe Three Or Four Episodes Every Season. The Only Restraint I Had Was That I Could Not Play Another President While The Show Was On The Air. So, I Kind Of Backed Into One Of The Great Events Of My Life And Certainly My Career.

I Act Because I Can't Seem To Live With Myself If I Do Not. I Don't Know Any Other Way To Be. It Isn't Something You Can Explain; It Is Just Something That You Do; It Is Something That You Are.

You Are Equally Responsible For Your Place In The Culture, And You Must Make A Contribution, And You Must Accept Responsibility For What Goes Down On Your Watch. You Have No Excuse If You Are A Conservative Not To Be Concerned About The Environment. You Are Equally Responsible.

I Sincerely Believe That Everything - Everything - Is Grace, And You Have To Stick Around Long Enough To See It Through. I'm A Very Optimistic Person.

I Am Not A Politician Or A Public Servant. I Am Still A Journeyman Actor And A Peace And Justice Activist. I'm A Pilgrim Trying To Win My Freedom And Serve As Best I Can In The Time I Have, With This Gift I've Been Given.
