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.

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.
