Sam Seaborn is the best character that’s ever been written for me, certainly. By far. And it’s a timeless show [The West Wing], one that’s having another resurgence now, with people so in an uproar politically.

The really good thing about my career is that I never went through a phase where I played characters who had names like “Partygoer,” “Waiter,” or “Guy #1.”

I don’t look back with any bitterness, though there are a couple of judgment calls and some ’80s hairdos that I’d like to do over.

I love that movie [The Specials]. I love James Gunn. I always sort of suspected that he would do well for himself.

Some of the ’80s movies I did are sort of museum pieces. St. Elmo’s Fire is great as a sort of kitschy, “Oh, my god, I can’t believe we wore that” type of movie.

Ridley Scott’s company makes great work in whatever arena, whether it’s movies or commercials or television. They just do really quality stuff, so you know it’s going to be quality.

It was a role [Dean Sanderson] I hadn’t seen before, and yet it was very accessible and relatable at the same time. I read scripts that have one or the other, but I rarely read scripts that have both. And it was laugh-out-loud funny.

The universe works in mysterious ways and for me it worked out perfectly. With all respect to everybody else, Aaron Sorkin is and was The West Wing, full stop. There’s no West Wing without him.

The script was given to me by one of my agents and they didn’t tell me anything about it. My first reaction was, “The West Wing? Is it about a squadron of fighter jets?” Then I turned the page and saw, ‘by Aaron Sorkin’ and I knew it was going to be something good.

In school, I had two or three best guy friends, but mostly if I was just hanging, I’d like to talk to the girls, because they were more interesting. I think they were smarter.

Your interests change. I used to feel that if I spent evenings reading, or watching a film, or just doing nothing up here at the house, I would probably be missing something that was a lot more fun. I don’t have that sense anymore.

I happen to be a movie star, but I’m not saying, “Hey, I’m a role model. Imitate me.”
