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 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.
