• [on if he’s felt typecast after “The West Wing”] You’re going to get typecast as whatever you do, but to be typecast as that guy who was complicated, passionate, funny, that’s fine. But yeah, people think you’re going to be a smart guy in a suit. But my God, what a wonderful experience. The only problem with it is it does spoil you; honestly, not to be pretentious but the creative experience, that kind of writing and those kinds of actors and directors and that arena, for God’s sake. What do you do after that? A show about a canning factory?
• [on whether he thinks there is a difference between actors who do theater and film versus those who just do film] I think with certain kinds of material it’s just a huge advantage. I myself cannot imagine what it would be like to be an actor who hadn’t done theater simply because when you’re an actor you’re a pawn in storytelling, and if you’re onstage you’re telling a story over and over, you’re telling the entire story eight times a week. If you’re in a movie or TV show, you’re telling it once out of sequence in snippets. You just get to act more [in theater]. I think it’s the reason we had such a great group in “The West Wing.” The reason was they were all theater actors.
