Line 1: {{creator}}{{outdated}} [[File:Aaron Sorkin at PaleyFest 2013.jpg\|thumb]] Line 6: The man behind ''[[Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip]]'', ''[[Sports Night]]'' and ''[[The West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 [[Exposition\|expositing]] at high speed. Also has a habit of ~~projecting~~ [[~~Author~~Writer Onon Board\|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 [[Mushroom Samba\|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 [[Academy Award\|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 ~~upcoming~~ HBO tvTV 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.
