I'd been following Joshua Malina for about the last year or so as I've been a longtime fan of 'Sports Night,' 'The Larry Sanders Show,' 'The West Wing,' and have always enjoyed seeing him pop up in a variety of other TV shows and films.
If you're write about TV and comedy, you're a fan of TV and comedy and so you follow the careers of people you admire and are a fan of and nothing makes this easier than Twitter.
