Janel Moloney Biography

Janel Moloney studied ballet from ages 5 to 15 but acting was her first passion. “There were two junior high school acting teachers in town -- Mrs. Martin and Mr. Mallot -- who were incredible” she says. “From the time I was in the fourth grade I’d go see every one of their shows. They were the whole reason I wanted to act.” Moloney’s film credits include appearances in the critically acclaimed independent feature “The Souler Opposite” as well as “Desperate Measures” and “‘Til There Was You.” She guest-starred on the Christmas episode of the television series “Sports Night” – thus introducing her to “Sports Night” (and “The West Wing”) executive producers Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme. “Aaron and Tommy are my kind of people” says Moloney. “I fell in love with them.” After her “Sports Night” experience Moloney was called in to audition for the role of “The West Wing” press secretary C.J. Cregg but was ultimately cast as Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman’s (Bradley Whitford) sarcastic but lovable secretary Donna Moss. “I had a feeling about this role” said Moloney.
