Born on May 27, 1955, the Maryland native is widely celebrated in Hollywood as one of the outstanding veteran actors whose versatility has helped set him apart across film and television.
From working behind the camera, he first appeared on TV in the mid-1980s after joining the cast of Tales from the Crypt, season 2 episode 13.
Interestingly, his breakthrough came in the late 1990s when he caught the attention of the renowned director Steven Spielberg.
From the pivotal role of Eddie Carr in the 1997 film, he starred in The West Wing as part of the core ensemble, where he took on the character of Toby Ziegler, a cynical yet deeply principled White House Communications Director.
After the show’s seven-year run, Schiff transitioned into yet another iconic role after joining The Good Doctor.
Portraying Dr. Aaron Glassman, the brilliant surgeon and the President of San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital, his character became one of the fan favorites for its warmth and striking mentorship of Shaun Murphy.

“To be perfectly frank, it’s not my style of show,” he told Gold Derby. “I try to avoid hospitals. I spent the first couple of years of my life in a hospital, so I think there’s some deeply rooted psychology there. I don’t like to watch sick people very much. And you can fall into a procedural trap. Anything can fall into a trap.”
“On ‘The West Wing’ you can fall into the trap of Aaron Sorkin, and just ride the wave of clever words,” the actor furthered. “It’s always a matter of trying to find the highest point near the ceiling of perfection. It’s an impossible task, but it’s what I strive for. I like to feel like I’m flying when I’m acting. So elevate is a good word for that.”
