I loved his heart and soul, he was so smart too, just like my hubby. Get well soon Mr. Schiff!

Toby has more depth than most of the characters and he comes across as a very real person. Schiff plays him perfectly, such a good actor.

I have been rewatching The West Wing the past few weeks. I can't count how many times I've watched the show, but it is still fresh for me. Back in 2007 Richard Schiff met Joe Biden and after having a long talk with him, supported him for president. That made me love Schiff that much more.

I'm so sorry to hear he has COVID and hope for a speedy recovery.

I really needed a reminder of what normal looks and sounds like, plus it is one of the best series I've ever seen.

and watched every episode, but I can't even think about watching it now. Too, too depressing.

so I put off watching it again. I thought it would be too hard to see "normal" in the midst of the Trump nightmare. Now that we are close to the end, I'm finding it to be just what I need right now.
