which West Wing star has had the best post-WW career?

[charlie and algernon]

starting to see a lot of West Wing alums in bigger and better roles. Which do you think has had a better post-WW career?

1. toss up between lisa edelstein and mary louise parker

[charlie and algernon]

2. both used the West Wing to jump into the mainstrream consciousness

both kinda jumped around from minor role to minor role, then they landed the west wing and earned major roles as a result.

[merh]

5. mary louise parker was a well respected actress long before

west wing - her role in Fried Green Tomatoes is what put gave her that jump start to the screen. She won a Tony, she is best known for her Broadway roles.

3. I'd say Lisa wins that one by default then

House is on FOX, Weeds is on Showtime. Obviously a quasi-network is going to have a wider audience than a premium cable channel. Haven't seen Weeds yet actually, but the premise of the show seems interesting enough.

4. Bill Clinton????

6. I think Weeds is in the middle of a shark jump right now

The last couple of seasons have been too whiney and dramatic for me.

And who did Lisa Edelstein play on West Wing again?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

8. She was the call girl

going to law school who hooked up with Sam Seaborn (Rob Lowe)......................

7. To add: Mark Feuerstein (Sen. Maj. Counsel Cliff Calley) now on "Royal Pains" n/t

[Pharlo]

9. If you're going to include Lisa Edelstein and Jorga Fox,

then Emily Proctor should also be mentioned. She's done VERY well in CSI: Miami
