1. SOUNDBITE (English) Oliver Platt, actor:
"’The West Wing’ is a very, that ended up being a very word for word set, you know, and if you’re Aaron Sorkin, right, like OK. Right. But I’m not always, you know, like, you know, I’m not always so good at word for word even when that’s the rules. So it was there was a bit of hazing on ‘The West Wing,’ but we, you know, we got through it. I knew a lot of the cast members and they’ve sort of come by and teased me like, ‘Don’t worry, buddy, we all went through it, you know?’ But talking about hitting the ground running – ‘The West Wing,’ that first day, I literally had ten pages of… do you remember the first scene with me in the hammer and all that, I had like ten pages of dialogue, like single spaced, you know. And Aaron, when Aaron, we talked about, he was like, ‘Oh, make it your own. I’m so thrilled it’s you. Make it your own.’ For me ‘make it your own’ means something very different, you know what I mean? I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t really have to be, you know.’ And then I got there and found out that wasn’t quite the case."
