I knew with The West Wing that that wasn't going to be for very long, that I was just the red herring.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's important to remember that, first and foremost, if not only, this is entertainment. 'The West Wing' isn't meant to be good for you.
Like they said about The West Wing, you can't do a show about Washington until you can.
It's funny because 'West Wing' is similar to 'Game of Thrones' in some ways, as it was very hard to pull off back then.
Whether it's 'The West Wing' or anything else, my first thought is always, 'What's a good story?'
Oh, my only - if I had one frustration in being on 'West Wing' is I wasn't on it enough, because I was in and out.
'West Wing' was a show about politics.
What's gratifying about West Wing is that everybody told us that it couldn't be done - that the man or woman on the street didn't care about politics. But if you set things up correctly, people don't have a problem with it.
The best episodes of 'The West Wing' that dealt with policy and stuff, in my opinion, were the ones where they were in the middle of a crisis, and they were trying to figure out how to solve problems.
The thing with 'The West Wing' is that the fantasy was legitimately better than the reality - these were smarter, better people than their real-life counterparts, working together at a better White House than the one we had.
That's the great thing about 'The West Wing:' you really felt like you were in the thick of it.
