@Ziggys_Duck Thanks for this. Some of his proudest work. He loved being a small part of the best show in tv history.
@Ziggys_Duck Yeah but did he ever make that fortune renting out porn VHS tapes?
@Ziggys_Duck They must have had an inside joke with it being him that got punched in the face given his previous career 😂
@Ziggys_Duck Guest starred on the S1 Christmas episode of The West Wing. Richard Schiff loved his performance and got choked up talking about it on a podcast. Later, Quinn's family got in touch to say how much it meant to them to hear.
@Ziggys_Duck Father of the redoubtable @TJQuinnESPN!
