THE
WEST
WING
West
Wing was the last show I worked on at WB. I joined the JWP
(John Wells Prod) team to do two pilots called TRINITY and
ADVERSARIES. TRINITY was picked up but only lasted a 6
episodes. I was asked to stay on to do another show
and given the script. It was the best pilot script I had
ever read, so I decided to work on the pilot.
What a great
experience.
The search was on to find a set. We
found an old White House set that was in pretty bad shape but
would be better than starting from scratch. Weeks of
repair began.
We also contacted the White house for tours
and info. It was amazing to me how excited they would get
when we called. I could hear them yelling my name down the
halls of the white house..... "IT'S RAN... from Warner
Bros." I thought it was cool that my name was being
yelled in the white house.
The
cast and crew are great on this show and I had a blast on the
pilot, but I was ready to go do feature films and I left after
the pilot. I visit them often and we now do MAKE A WISH
together.
Thanks
WEST WING
It
