Toby Ziegler

Perhaps more than any other character Toby Ziegler (Richard Schiff) portrayed the conscience of The West Wing.  Here are a few of Toby’s most memorable moments from the show: arguing for the NEA, talking with the US poet laureate, meeting his kids, dealing with writers block, and, as seen here, protecting PBS (and Julia Child!).  Larger version plus other clips inside the Full Diagnosis.
