    A good actress hide show

    Janel Moloney has to be one of my favorite actresses from the show The West Wing. She had one of the best characters on the show. She did an incredible job with poytraing the role of Donna Moss. I think that she is an amazing actress and i wish that there were more shows with her in it. I liked that she was a supporter of the Kerry campagion in the 2004 Presidental election. I really hope that she is casted in another tv seires so we can she what else she can do and to see a different side of her acting skills.
