I sense a pattern.

I'm not sure about Will Bailey. I think he's a bit complicated and I think I could take this from several angles. I chose this one.

I always did like the "minor" characters. Of course, the trouble is that the minor characters are so easily shadowed on The West Wing, more easily and thoroughly than on, say, The X-Files. But there's nothing truly minor about Will Bailey, I don't think. And of course there are always layers to minor characters - there are smaller players than they.
