Personal Quote:

(2011, on Drop Dead Gorgeous) I think I get more people coming up to me saying how much they love that movie than any other thing I've done. Even more than West Wing, I have to say. That movie is a cult classic, and that was a great part. I did a lot of improv in that part, and... It was a long time shooting up there for me... See more »
