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 [[AuthorWriter 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]]''.
