Martin Sheen had no idea that Laura Innes had already made a name for herself playing ER’s sassy Dr. Kerry Weaver when she signed on to direct NBC’s White House drama [The West Wing]. “But my wife sure knew who she was, and boy, did I get a beating for that.”
“My wife asked me who was directing, and I said, ‘Some little girl. Hell, she looks about 14 years old, I don’t know her name,’ ” recalls Sheen. “She looked at the call sheets and said, ‘You a******!
