Personal Quote:
[Upon winning an Emmy for his role in The West Wing] I've never wanted to do anything but act. It saved my life, it's the reason I get up in the morning, it's my opiate.

Attended the Professional Children's School in New York City as a teen. Among the other students at the time was Liza Minnelli. See more »Trademark:
