West Wing Cameos?

Well we're 41 minutes into the series and we've already seen Brad, Busfield, Perry and Felicity Huffman. Getting a chance to work with the others again would be an answered prayer. You mentioned Janel, whom I'm particularly fond of, but then I'm particularly fond of Martin, Richard, Allison, Rob, Dule, Stockard, Rob and Malina. No need to say I wish I could have John Spencer one more day.


I'm already loving it and I'm hoping you'll find a place for Allison Janney soon :)

We're all so happy to have the two of you back on TV. Tonight was great. Aaron--I'm sure you know that your words, particullary on west wing, have inspired many. Ever consider becoming an actual political speech writer or writing in some other are than the entertainment industry?

Thank you so much for bringing intelligent shows to television. I was heartbroken after The West Wing ended, but Studio 60 is the perfect thing to fill the void. Tonight's episode was everything I was hoping to see. Keep up the great work!

One of the greatest things about the "Sorkin" series of shows is the fact that once a good actor is found, he or she always seems to turn up again in another series. I absolutely love that about you, Aaron. Your work attracts some of the best in the business.

Oh come on, we all know Malina is going to show up sooner or later. Don't even think for a second that he won't show.

Well Mr. Sorkin, we play the full 60 minutes . . .

If you could get Lisa Edelstein away from House for an episode, she'd have a trifecta, having already been in Sports Night & West Wing. :)

I too would love to see more cameos. West Wing was one of those rare shows where you actually feel like you're looking through a window into real lives. I wish I knew people like the characters you created. I miss them! But I'm sure you're excited to see where your new characters take/lead you. I'm just happy to have something really good to watch!

There are a lot of us who are particularly fond of Janel and would love to see her grace our screens again!

Hi! Aaron, I'm in college right now studying dramatic writing at NYU to be a TV writer and you're my all time favorite writer! Is there I way I can get in contact with you? My class was wondering if we could ask you a couple questions through mail or email-- Such as a fan-mail address or something?? I'd really appreciate it! Thank-you!
And keep writing awesome television!!!!

(I'll probably post this a few times, since this is the only chance I'll get to ask you)

Indeed.
I think John would be very proud of you two.

Another WW related question...is that the same font?

"No need to say I wish I could have John Spencer one more day."

Don't we all?

I would love to see Dule Hill show up in a recurring role in this show, he's a great actor, not to say that janel, allison, richard, rob, stockard, rob, and malina aren't either LOL
