0:00.0	Hi everyone, it's Sophia, welcome back to Work in Progress.
0:14.2	Today's guest is an absolutely phenomenal actor.
0:17.7	Multi-time Emmy and Golden Globe nominee, you might recognize her best from her iconic role
0:24.0	as Tammy Taylor and Friday night lights. Either that or her performance as Nikki Faber on Spins
0:29.6	City or her roles on 24th, the West Wing, Dirty John, promising a woman bombshell or, most recently,

2:04.7	know why you're the way you are, which feels really fun. I'm going to ask you some questions I know
2:09.1	the answers to, but that the audience doesn't. I'm curious to see what I learned, but I don't even
2:16.9	know that I don't know. Will it be like that first time that we met at the White House Correspondence
2:23.6	dinner? Is that what it's going to be like? Well, that night ended with a lot of champagne and
