Richard Schiff, who plays White House communications director Toby Ziegler on the NBC political drama, says he doesn't expect the show to last much longer.
"I honestly don't think it's the last year, but maybe the year after that," he said Wednesday night before a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert sponsored by the Creative Coalition, of which he is a member.
"The plans are that it's going to go a full term, eight years. Thank God, constitutionally we can't go more than that," said Schiff, who was nominated for a best supporting actor Emmy in 2002.
And if that's when the show does end, then "that'd be fine by me," he said. "I used to do a lot of movies. I was used to moving around a lot and I'm anxious to do that again."
Presidents can serve two four-year terms — a total of eight years.
The first two years of The West Wing were fabulous.
And then it got biased and preachy and I soon lost interest.
However, the writing and acting were good. The show deserved the Emmys it received.
Martin Sheen is a good actor and I've like much of what he's done over the years...but his politics are seriously fu*ked up.
No Sugar, that was pre-production when they were still assembling writers and a cast. From it's inception it has been what it is. With all of that said...
I watch it every now and again. Sometimes the writing can be witty...sometimes.
Yes dear Martin has made millions under a system he dispises. Too bad he didn't move to one of the nations he loved, Nicaragua before communism fell or Cuba.
What's a "west wing"?
LOL!
