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.”
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.
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.
