In a recent interview, Alan said that he doesn’t really have a favorite role but he does have favorite memories from his many roles.

Alan said, “There are moments that I remember with real pleasure.” For instance, “the live debate on ‘The West Wing.’ It had a feeling of improvisation even though it [was scripted]. But it was very exciting. When you know in 30 seconds that the red light’s going on and millions of people are watching you.”
