Roxy Sorkin, your father just won the Academy Award. I'm going to have to insist on some respect from your guinea pig. |
The man behind Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Sports Night and The West Wing. His scripts have many distinctive traits, including a dialogue style known for timing and finesse that has garnered the moniker "Sorkinese". His shows are also notorious for characters walking down hallways while expositing at high speed.
Also has a habit of projecting his personal life into his shows -- duly lampooned on Saturday Night Live (a sketch in which The West Wing's characters reenact Sorkin's marijuana hallucinations). Is also known for thinking that a proper Republican is somewhere a few millimeters to the political right of Lenin, which would put his idea of a proper Democrat somewhere to the left of a communist who won't breathe on their own because it would mean not sharing air.
Sorkin also wrote several plays, such as A Few Good Men and screenplays such as the film adaptation of A Few Good Men, The American President, Charlie Wilson's War, The Social Network, for which he won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, and Moneyball.
Now[when?], he has several projects upcoming, including The Politician, a film based on the scandals of the John Edwards presidential campaign, and the HBO TV series The Newsroom, starring Jeff Daniels as a Keith Olbermann-esque TV reporter.
He has a well known on/off relationship with Kristin Chenoweth, and right now[when?] they seem to be off again.
