30 With Murti Podcast: 'West Wing' Alum Richard Schiff

NEW YORK (WFAN) -- Episode 3 of the "30 With Murti" podcast features Emmy Award-winning actor Richard Schiff, who played Toby Ziegler, White House Director of Communications, on NBC's The West Wing for seven seasons.

Schiff is a New York native and life-long Yankees fan, most recently starring in Rogue (Direct TV), House of Lies and The Affair (both Showtime), and Ballers (HBO).

Sweeny met Richard last year in Toronto where he was filming Rogue, and caught up with him again last month in New York City to talk about his memories as a Yankees fan (which include Mickey Mantle's 500th home run) and some fun stories for West Wing fanatics.  You'll also hear about his dream sports project, which involves the famous CCNY basketball point-shaving scandal.

We hope you enjoy this, as well as our first two episodes featuring Joe Girardi and Gene "Stick" Michael. Stay tuned for more fun conversations coming your way every Friday during the baseball season.
