"Ive never felt like this before." -Charlie
Yay for Dule!
Rachel's Shrine To Charlie
What is it about this guy? He's so sweet, so young, and cute enough to even make Toby smile. He's Charlie, one of the best characters on The West Wing and I love him. He brings something that noone else brings to the show-a young perspective. Since all of us whores here are closer to Charlie's age than anybody elses on the show, we can relate to him a little bit more than anybody else.
The backround of Charlie can be found on the West Wing for Dummies web site. This is more of a page to say...Charlie. We salute you.
The role of Charlie is played by a wonderful actor named Dule Hill. Dule started off not as an actor, but as a dance prodigy. He tap danced his way to fame in several Broadway shows.
"I'll always be dancing -- tap dancing -- always," he says. "There's nothing like the dance, there's nothing like tap dancing. It's a gift that's given. You just have it: You can make music with your feet."
He was in a few more movies, most notably in "She's All That". However it was the West Wing that was Dule's biggest break. So look out for more from Dule's career in the years to come, because this is only the beginning.
Oh yes. He also makes awesome food, so be sure to scroll all the way down for some of Dule's yummy recipes. But first...some quotes!
Charlie: I'm a mystery solver.
Mrs. Landingham: That's wonderful, sweetie....
Abbey: So we can have sex now.
Charlie: Okay, you're not talking about you and me, right?
POTUS: Charlie, I want to hire a woman whose voice I think would fit in nicely around here. Shes a conservative Republican. You think I should do it?
Charlie: Absolutely, Mr. President, cause Im told that theirs is the party of inclusion
C.J.: This is a serious thing now.
Charlie: Well, I'm sorry if I mouthed off to a reporter, CJ, but you're out of your mind. Education's a serious thing. Crime, jobs, national security. In 18 months I've been to Oregon four times, and not a single person I've met there has been stupid.
C.J.: Everybody's stupid in an election year, Charlie.
Charlie: No, everybody gets treated stupid in an election year, C.J.
Cochran: Oh yeah. I find exclusive clubs to be repugnant.
Charlie: I couldn't help but notice that didn't stop you from joining up in the first place.
Cochran: Now, that's out of line. That's out of line and that shouldn't have been said. And you've forgotten that you're addressing an U.S. Ambassador.
Charlie: I apologize, sir.
Cochran: I'm sorry to do this, but I'd like to speak to your supervisor.
Charlie: Well, I'm personal aide to the President, so my supervisor's a little busy right now looking for a back door to this place to shove you out of. But, I'll let him know you'd like to lodge a complaint."
POTUS: What?
Charlie: Good morning, Mr. President. It's Charlie. I hope--
POTUS: What could you possibly want right now?
Charlie: Sir, it's 6:30 a.m. and--
POTUS: In the morning?
Charlie: Yes sir. And I wanted to remind you that--
POTUS: I mean, what in the name of everything holy could you want right now?
Charlie: I wanted to remind you that you have a 7:00 a.m. at the Oval Office with senior staff, followed by your security and intelligence briefings, and a meeting with the Chairman of the Fed. Would you like me to have the stewards bring ya some coffee and the Washington Post?
POTUS: Who the hell is this?
Charlie: Sir.
POTUS: And what could you possibly want?
Charlie: Sir. I need you to dig in now. It wasn't a nightmare, you really are the President.
