So sad to hear of his passing yesterday. He was a talented actor and a good man.

I was privileged to get to work with him when I came onboard halfway thourgh the first season of "West Wing", he made an effort to make me feel at home. He was trying to quit smoking by chewing on teatree-oil dipped toothpicks and would walk around offering them to people with this great little flourish; for some reason I never forgot that.

My thoughts are with his family.

Indeed. I always admired his 'underplaying' the role. Very very impressive. And 58 is too frickin young.

Rest in peace.

I loved his work in "L.A. Law" and roles in films like "The Rock".
He will be missed.

Sad. Life imitates art. His character had a heart attack as well - but lived through it.
