My sister and I waited outside the stage door - we were at the end of a very long line of people behind a barrier. When he finally got to us he asked how I was and if I'd enjoyed the play. After he'd signed my theatre programme I asked if I could have a photograph, to which he replied "Sure, let's do it!" He came behind the barrier and because I'ma wheelchair user he knelt down next to me. I managed to say "I love your work" (how original!), then he put his arm round me and kissed my cheek. After I'd thanked him for the photograph he squeezed my shoulder and said "No problem, sweetie". I don't mind saying I've had a huge crush on him ever since I started watching The West Wing. He was absolutely lovely and just as charming as I'd heard people say he was.Sue Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564077056962892379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557494819126850462.post-15660390109972101712008-10-26T14:42:00.000-07:002008-10-26T14:42:00.000-07:00Ha!

And yes, he is arrogant, but also so intelligent and witty! And the truth is that I am in love with my husband;-) but how cool that you and Donna love the WW--when I got home, Drew and went through and watched it together.<BR/><BR/>Kathie--the funny thing is that I am not usually star-struck, either. In fact, I generally do not go up to strangers to talk to them, esp. if they are stars cause I figure they just want to be able to buy lunch in peace, but Brad Whitford is a different story--I love his character so much that I just HAD to say something!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754945048997402612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557494819126850462.post-63587955111348751552008-10-25T08:42:00.000-07:002008-10-25T08:42:00.000-07:00Jase--very true on your analysis of the effect of ...Jase--very true on your analysis of the effect of your comment.

I liked West Wing a lot when it was on, and I liked Bradley Whitford's character, too. Although, I do agree at least a little bit with peaj. My favorite episodes were the one where the president (I have always loved Martin Sheen) and Josh get shot and when Mark Harmon was on (I thought the map bit was funny, too, peaj).<BR/><BR/>When I see a celebrity, I will just treat him/her like a normal person, not gush all over them (they put their pants on one leg at a time, too, after all)...wait...omg, am I actually writing on Jessica Latshaw's blog??!!

That's definitely very exciting. I don't have a crush on him but I would probably babble incoherently if I ever met him. I think that it is wonderful that he was so gracious to you when he could have rolled his eyes and been like "great, another fan." <BR/><BR/>I imagine that someday you two will run into each other again and he will know exactly who you are because of your great fame. But I can't imagine him babbling - he'd be too cool.peajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04071406015712401794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557494819126850462.post-64207196958621707072008-10-25T04:46:00.000-07:002008-10-25T04:46:00.000-07:00Donna and I love the West Wing.

Most of the series' episodes bear multiple views. And Bradley Whitford did such a great job as Josh.<BR/><BR/>But... you know, Josh (the character) isn't really very woman-friendly. He's a bit of a misogynist. He did get his comeuppance many times, but his arrogance remained. So I guess I'm a little surprised by the crush.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and Jason - if you are talking about the episode <A HREF="http://www.westwingtranscripts.com/search.php?flag=getTranscript&id=38&keyword=projection" REL="nofollow">'Somebody's going to emergency, somebody's going to jail'</A> with the Organization of Cartographers for Social Equality in it - I thought the bit with the map was great.peajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04071406015712401794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557494819126850462.post-49465285835082512202008-10-25T00:22:00.000-07:002008-10-25T00:22:00.000-07:00Hater.Hater.Dick Ronkuloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11896688700005958273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557494819126850462.post-74522654867385750952008-10-25T00:21:00.000-07:002008-10-25T00:21:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dick Ronkuloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11896688700005958273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557494819126850462.post-43679745142918243092008-10-24T23:56:00.000-07:002008-10-24T23:56:00.000-07:00...he's not exactly a hearth throb, you know.and t......he's not exactly a hearth throb, you know.<BR/><BR/>and the one show of the west wing that I ever saw was about maps and it was really boring.<BR/><BR/>(i know this comment will really annoy you!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
