an introduction to the #malinators: a thread

the #malinators are the colloquial name for fans of american stage and film actor joshua malina (born january 17, 1966)

malina is most known for his role in the nbc drama "the west wing" (1999-2006) as will bailey, a role malina himself admits was not his best. his twitter bio reads "Hi, I ruined The West Wing." #malinators are divided on will bailey, but if you ask me, i think will's a swell guy

another famous role malina has under his belt is david rosen from abc's "scandal" (2012-2018). i haven't seen the show but from what i've heard he's a bit of a scumbag. malina does not claim credit for ruining scandal, though. #malinators

now, malina has more than a few enemies, most notably bradley whitford, his "the west wing" co-star who you probably know as the dad from "get out". the two often take a jab at the other's acting skills publicly on twitter. more on malina's twitter presence later #malinators

malina is quite the scholar, spending most of his time on twitter correcting people's grammar. from the occasional random user to politicians and celebrities, malina simply wants to educate the twitterverse on how to speak properly. he's corrected quite a few #malinators as well

furthermore, there's suspicion he mutes his own #malinators. well, i say "suspicion" when he has admitted it publicly when beginning a q&a on his twitter. in fact, i believe i've been muted as well. hopefully he sees this thread and acknowledges my existence

well, folks, i think that's everything so far! i'll add to this thread if necessary. i hope i have informed you well on mr joshua malina and us, the #malinators. catch us on the trending page (hopefully).

update: the man himself has replied to this thread and he had some important insights:
