Oh, I loved him as Bruno Gianelli on "The West Wing". I didn't know that he had changed his political affiliation. On WW, he originally worked as a consultant for the Democratic incumbent, but then worked for the Republican candidate in the next election. Was that a reflection of his activism? If it was, I never caught that.

He was also in "Blue Steel" with Jamie Lee Curtis, a rather predictable police thriller, but his performance always stuck with me.
