He’s by far my favorite writer, and one of my biggest letdowns is having booked a very good role on his show “The Newsroom”, only to have the part cut before it shot.
Working with Aaron Sorkin would have been a dream. That said, I can’t wait to see To Kill a Mockingbird on Broadway when I’m in New York in December.
Sorkin adapted the book into his own style, which resulted in a lawsuit by Harper Lee’s estate that he didn’t remain faithful enough to the spirit of her novel. This makes me want to see it even more.
Also cool: Jeff Daniels, star of “The Newsroom”, is playing Atticus Finch. Counting the days.
