The Newsroom: The Greater Fool

• Sloan Sabbith: I don't know who told you you're a bad guy, but somebody did. Somebody along the way. Somebody, or something convinced you of it because you think you're a bad guy, and you're just not. I'm socially inept, but even I know that. So, because you're a bad guy, you try to do things you think a good guy will do. Like committing to somebody you like, but don't love. Sweet, smart, wholesome mid-Western girl. I could be wrong; I almost always am.
• Don Keefer: Why are you single?
• Sloan: A lot of men are intimidated by my intelligence.
• Don: No, seriously.
• Sloan: Because you never asked me out. Caught you off guard didn't I?
• Don: Yeah you really did.

Haha, I got him to admit it.

You had a guest-starring role as a campaign volunteer in Aaron Sorkin’s previous hit, The West Wing. Did that help you get this part?
No, as a matter of fact, Aaron Sorkin didn’t even connect until the end of shooting season one of The Newsroom that I was the same guy. We shot that episode in 2002, when I was 18. I had really long hair and I looked entirely different. I never got to meet Aaron when we were doing that.
