I kind of pride myself on coming onto things that are well-oiled machines and finding a way to bring what I bring and fit in, and raise it to another level if I can. And this [Code Black ] has been another one of those really fun success stories, much like Parks And Recreation, although obviously on the other side of the comedy/drama equation.

[Bad Influence]was David Koepp's first big screenplay. It was actually a writing sample that was around town to get David work at the time, and Steve Tisch - now the owner of the New York Giants - found it, loved it, and together we put it together. But I'd say that would be the one I'd tell people to go and look at if they haven't seen it.

I think my thing is that I try and pick up on things that other people have maybe not picked up on.

I have other obligations now - the show, my family, my life... though I know that without my sobriety I wouldn't have any of those things.

Sampling, statisticians have told us, is a much more effective way of getting a good census.

I had no regrets when I did it, I have even less regret now because I can't imagine staying on the West Wing show and then, six weeks later, Aaron Sorkin leaving.

The West Wing and The Outsiders are the gifts that keep on giving.
