BURBANK, Calif. -- August 27, 2004 -- Emmy Award-winning actor Jimmy Smits has joined the cast of "The West Wing." He will play a three-term Houston congressman with presidential aspirations. He recently starred in Shakespeare in the Park's production of "Much Ado About Nothing" as well as the Pulitzer Prize winning "Anna in the Tropics" and will next be seen in "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith." Smits' television credits include starring roles in "NYPD Blue" and "L.A. Law."
Meant to say another lib actor wanting to play republican prez wanabe.
A rip off of Lt. Acaveda from The Shield?
Is Jimmy Smits a lib? Or are you assuming because its the Left Wing TV show plus hes an actor he must be one?
Fox had a crawl earlier in the week that Alan Alda was going to play a Republican senator. I'm sure his portrayal will be "fair and balanced."
As for Smits, I seem to remember a blurb I read somewhere about him and Dennis Franz having differing points of view politically (Franz being conservative).
I'm assuming but what is the odds of me bring wrong.
Not very good, I guess the percentage is 98-2 in your favor.
Your right of course. From http://www.gunweek.com/2000/hs091000.html
During the conference, Anthony Edwards, who plays a doctor, talked health care. Juliette Lewis, star of “Natural Born Killers,” debated violence in film. And former TV cop Jimmy Smits pitched gun control. Smits won a coveted prime-time speaking slot to pitch diversity and praise Gore as the candidate fighting against gun violence.
Alright! He's my favorite Blue character.
Did you see the Jimmy Smits death sequence? As I recall there was one scene where Sipowitz went to visit him in the hospital and Smits was watching CNN - which had a clip of Clinton. Andy made a very disparaging comment that was really funny. Wish I could remember the actual line.
I think this is wonderful news!
We always say that the libs are detached from reaility and they really are. They are building their virtual White House on film. These are demented people and they think if they can show the common people (peasants) what a utopia leftism is, "the people" will flock to it. Let them console themselves with a mockery of their reality. In the end, it will sway no one and they will be exposed as the fools they really, really, are.

Has anybody actually ever watched this show??? I have not, the most liberal that I watch is law and order and I watch that pretty much 7 days a week thanks to TNT.
Apparently, it does pretty well, but I know of no one that watches it. Like yourself, I NEVER would watch that trash...
