Common Ground: Josh Malina, Elise Neal, Cristela Alonzo, Colton Dunn

Actors Colton Dunn, Joshua Malina, Elise Neal, and Cristela Alonzo remind us how difficult enduring COVID-19 has been, but that we can continue to fight the virus by finding our common ground and staying vigilant. We must take care of each other by getting vaccinated and continuing to follow safety protocols until COVID-19 is defeated for good.

Together, let’s inspire each other to finish what we started. Together we can protect our families, our neighbors and ourselves. And only together we can find our COMMON GROUND.

Star of NBC’s Emmy Award-winning ensemble THE WEST WING, actor Joshua Malina has the impressive distinction of having appeared in all, but one project that Aaron Sorkin has written/produced.  As ‘Will Bailey’, Malina filled the slot left open by Rob Lowe’s departure in the hit drama series.  He has since transitioned into the role of DC US Attorney in Shonda Rhimes ABC drama SCANDAL opposite Kerry Washington.

Upon graduation from Yale University with a B.A. degree in Theatre, Malina made his professional acting debut in the Broadway production of Sorkin’s “A Few Good Men.”  He went on to star as Jeremy Goodwin in the critically acclaimed television series SPORTS NIGHT, for which he and his castmates were nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for “Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy.”  Other Sorkin credits include the hit features THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT and MALICE.

Additional film credits include Bruno Barreto’s dark comedy for Miramax A VIEW FROM THE TOP with Gwenyth Paltrow and Mike Meyers, IN THE LINE OF FIRE with Clint Eastwood, BULWORTH with Warren Beatty and Halle Berry, THE FIRST TIME, and KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM.

Malina also appeared in Hank Azaria’s directorial debut, a short film entitled RAY’S EX- VISION.  This marked their first collaboration since they co-starred as writing partners on the sitcom IMAGINE THAT.  Among his other television credits is the ABC comedy series BIG SHOTS in which he starred with Michael Vartan and Dylan McDermott; memorable recurring arcs on Ryan Murphy’s AMERICAN HORROR STORY, Showtime’s SHAMELESS, USA Network’s drama IN PLAIN SIGHT, THE BIG BANG THEORY, NUMB3RS, and HBO’s THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW as Kenny, the shockingly uncreative creative executive; the Tom Hanks HBO production of FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON; TRACEY TAKES ON…; the telefilm HOW TO MARRY A BILLIONAIRE, THIS IS US, THE GOOD DOCTOR, FBI: MOST WANTED, PERFECT HARMONY, EXTANT, CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL, PSYCH, BONES, HOUSE, CSI, LAW & ORDER; SVU, MEDIUM, GREY’S ANATOMY, TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES, and the ABC Family Channel original SEE JANE DATE.
