“The West Wing” actor, Richard Schiff, agrees with his former character, Toby Ziegler’s opinion that the press should always be close with the President of the United States.

TMZ caught up with the actor as he strolled down the street in Beverly Hills and asked him about his thoughts on President Donald Trump’s opposition of the media.

“This guy [Donald Trump], wants to keep the free press as far away from him as he can and we are not going to let it happen,” Schiff said.

He continued, “anything he can do to delegitimize [the press]. Anything he can do to get them away. Anything he can do to make it seem like they are illegitimate or fake. He’s a genius. He’s a genius at turning everything around and upside down. And, he’s very, very dangerous.”

Schiff also shared what he thinks could be a good solution to all of this.

“I would impose the press on him 24/7,” he said, adding, “put a camera in his bedroom.”
