When I heard that Aaron Sorkin had a new TV show in development (which turned out to be _Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip_), I thought “do you have a part picked out for Joshua Malina, yet?” Malina was in _A Few Good Men_, _Malice_, _The American President_, _Sports Night_, and _The West Wing_. However, Sorkin was not the director of any of those movies/series (writer and writer/producer), and Malina never appeared on Studio 60. ---

[quote=“RealityChuck, post:12, topic:478838”] Woody Allen and Diane Keaton/Mia Farrow (for a time). > [@Laughing\_Lagomorph](#): > > Also Tony Roberts, for a time. And Louise Lasser before Diane Keaton. Scarlett Johansson seems to be going in that direction now. A few others that have appeared repeatedly in Woody Allen films have been Julie Kavner (the voice of Marge Simpson), Sam Waterston, Dany Aiello, Dianne Wiest, Wallace Shawn, Alan Alda and Jack Warden. ---
