Aaron Sorkin wrote a conversation between Barack Obama and Josiah Bartlet.
:cries like a baby:
I grew up with Josiah. He was, and this is going to sound lame, my first president. He may have been fictional, but the conflicts and situations were real as anything.
And Aaron Sorkin was the first person to make me realize people wrote television. I remember when Sorkin left the show, the next season, the music in the writing was gone. It was a deafening absence of Sorkin's je ne sais quoi. And from then on, I didn't pay attention to actors, I paid attention to the words themselves.
I have a mental list of the things that have made me the person I am today. Number one is Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Number two is The West Wing.
