Et CETERA
*OFTEN FREQUENTS NIGHTCLUBS DURING THE WEEKEND. DURING THESE VISITS, GREG IS KNOWN FOR HIS WOMANIZING & FLIRTING BUT HAS YET TO ACTUALLY BRING A FEMALE HOME. IT IS ALSO ONE OF THE FEW OCCASIONS DURING WHICH HE SMOKES CIGARS (THE OTHERS BEING CELEBRATIONS AND POKER GAMES). HE ALWAYS PUTS MADDIE TO BED BEFORE GOING OUT, EVEN IF IT MEANS COMING HOME BETWEEN DINNER AND A BAR.
*STILL WEARS HIS WEDDING BAND UNLESS HE IS GOING OUT FOR THE EVENING. HE STILL DOES NOT INDENTIFY HIMSELF AS SINGLE AND WHILE HE HAS GONE OUT ON A FEW DATES SET UP BY FRIENDS, HE DOES NOT ACTIVELY SEEK A PARTNER.
*TAKES HIS DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL EVERY TIME POSSIBLE. HE ALSO TRIES AND PICKS HER UP ANY TIME HE CAN, THOUGH WORK OFTEN INTERFERS WITH THIS.
*LISTENS TO AN ECCENTRIC MIX OF CLASSIC ROCK & RAP. IF HE IS ON HIS OWN IN HIS CAR, HE LISTENS TO HIP-HOP. IF MADDIE IS IN THE CAR WITH HIM, HE LISTENS TO DISNEY ON XM, AND HE HAS NPR & A CLASSIC ROCK STATION PRE-PROGRAMMED INTO HIS RADIO SETTINGS.
*SWIMS OR RUNS EVERY MORNING POSSIBLE. THOUGH HE ISN'T A MORNING PERSON, HE FORCES HIMSELF TO GET OUT AND DO SOMETHING. HE ALWAYS MAKES SURE TO GET HOME BEFORE MADDIE WAKENS SO HE CAN HELP HER GET READY FOR SCHOOL. HE HAS ALSO LEARNED TO BE AN ACE IN THE KITCHEN WHEN IT COMES TO BREAKFAST FOR THIS VERY REASON.
*PLAYS THE DRUMS. HE ALSO PLAYS (IN ORDER OF ABILITY) BASS, PIANO, AND GUITAR. HE DOESN'T, HOWEVER, PLAY OFTEN AND ONLY OWNS A PIANO. HOWEVER, HE DOES KEEP DRUMSTICKS IN HIS OFFICE AND IS OFTEN SEEN (AND HEARD) BANGING AWAY ON THINGS WHEN BORED.
*LOST PART OF THE MIDDLE FINGER OF HIS RIGHT HAND DURING A HUNTING ACCIDENT. IASON, NOT PAYING ATTENTION, SHOT GREG INSTEAD OF A DEER AND THE BULLET, IN A STROKE OF LUCK, ONLY HIT HIS FINGER. THE SHOT WAS ONE IN A MILLION, AND COULD HAVE VERY EASILY BEEN FATAL. NONETHELESS, THE ACCIDENT LEFT GREG SO ANGRY AT IASON THAT HE DIDN'T SPEAK TO HIS BROTHER FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS. A COMMON JOKE IN WASHINGTON IS THAT THE ACCIDENT RENDERED HIM NEARLY MUTE.
*IN A GESTURE OF SOLIDARITY WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, GREGORY HAS REFUSED HIS 2009 SALARY. IN A NON-RELATED GESTURE, GREGORY IS IN FULL SUPPORT OF OBAMA KEEPING HIS BLACKBERRY, IF ONLY SO HE CAN KEEP HIS WHEN HE TAKES OVER THE WORLD RUNS FOR PRESIDENT.

PERSONAL SURVEY
DESCRIBE YOUR FAMILY: My family is huge! We've been called the new Kennedy's, mainly because of my grandfather's and father's involvement in politics and the family money, but quite frankly I think that's shit. I have three siblings, of which I am in the middle. My two brothers are married and settled down. My oldest brother is the Mayor of Boston, while my other brother is a talent agent in LA. They both have a handful of children. My sister is younger than all of us by quite a bit and is currently finishing her undergraduate degree. I also have one child, Madison, who is almost nine and a complete spitfire. She has as much if not more energy as I do and while she's very active, she's also very girly like her mother was. Despite the fact that she gives me a hard time, she's very well mannered and probably speaks French better than I do.
HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR SPOUSE?: I met Nicole when I was working with Glousten & Storrs. She was an intern helping out with filing and we worked a case together (or, rather, she assisted me on a case.) It wasn't love at first sight, but we certainly did fall deeply in love.
HOW DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR OCCUPATION?: I always wanted to be a politician but refrained from entering politics when Nicole was alive. She never wanted any of the stress of it, and in fact encouraged me to go work for Work For Progress. She was always a bit of a bleeding heart. When she got sick, she told me she wanted me to follow my dreams and I did.
WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES & INTERESTS. DO THEY HELP DEFINE YOU AS A PERSON? IF SO, HOW & WHY? I really like to stay fit. I'm an energetic person (nowadays they call it A.D.H.D.) and if I didn't go out and work out some of that energy, I'd probably go crazy. In that way, I suppose it does define me because it helps shape my current behaviors. However, it isn't as though I'm known as a runner or a swimmer the way some people are known by their hobbies. I also am involved with charity and do some mentoring through Georgetown University. Once again, I'm not really sure if it defines me. I think if you have a job like I do, that's all people really focus on. Besides, I don't have enough time to let anything else become my focus.
DESCRIBE YOUR RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION I am Roman-Catholic, fully practicing. I go to mass every Sunday and confession whenever I can. I don't know if I'd call myself exactly devout, but I certainly keep a code for myself. I don't believe, however, upon pressing my beliefs onto others.
DESCRIBE YOUR POLITICAL AFFILIATION I have none! Bad question for me, don't you think? I'm a liberal Republican, which means I believe in most of the Republican ideals, especially when it comes to the free-market but I've taken on some positions on the left, such as supporting gay marriage and pro-choice rights. People on both sides tend to hate me for it, but it obviously worked for the people that voted me into office and I plan to continue to represent the American middle that most of this country falls into.
WHAT IS YOUR SEXUALITY? DESCRIBE YOUR FIRST FORAY INTO THIS SEXUALITY? I am heterosexual. Having attended an all-boys school during my later years, I think a lot of my own desires were a bit repressed during that time, though I was as hormonal as any other teenager. While I dated, I was mostly ignorant about the features of the fairer sex. It wasn't until college that I "explored" things. All I have to say is: thank you Jenny Fitch.
WHAT ARE YOUR SEXUAL INTERESTS? DO YOU HAVE ANY TURN ONS OR TURN OFFS? You mean I get to have sexual interests at this age?! Between work and Maddie I really don't have time for that sort of thing, but if I really have to answer this then, yes, I have turn-on's and turn-offs. Most of my turn-on's aren't really physical. I like a woman with a brains and opinions. Oddly enough, being too opinionated is a turn-off. I don't want to argue with you and then bed you. I also like high-heels and pearls, a woman that is confident and girls that "sparkle" in general. I could never be with someone too quite, nor do I want someone without pride in themselves. I like women that can take aggression in bed, but I'd rather have a passionate night than a violent one and I've come to learn in my life that it's more important to slow down and appriciate each other than it is to fuck like wild rabits.
DO YOU HAVE ANY KIDS? DO YOU WANT MORE? I have Maddie, and while she's a handful as it is, I suppose I could stand one or two more.
DO YOU HAVE PETS? DO YOU WANT ANY? I do not have a pet because of all the travel I do, but I'd love to get a dog eventually (a big dog, too! None of those little wimpy things that yap all fucking day!).
DESCRIBE A SINGLE EVENT FROM YOUR LIFE THAT HAS AFFECTED YOU GREATLY. I always feel like these things should be things from your childhood, but I'm going to say marriage as a whole. I know it isn't a single event, but it was certainly a stage in my life. Being married changed my perspective on the world. I got a little less greedy and a lot more caring, and I really learned to love outside of myself. In a few words, I settled down quite a bit but it was more than that. Marriage helped me not only grow as a person, but to grow up. For that matter, fatherhood has also affected me. It's hard to try and be a hardass when you have a little girl looking up at you like you're the king of the world.
WHAT WERE YOU LIKE AS A CHILD? As a child, I was actually really quiet. I tended to make friends with a lot of people but still stay on my own. I liked to play by myself in my room than go out. When I did play with friends, I liked going outside and exploring the world around me. I really didn't hang around with many girls except for a neighborhood tomboy because I always wanted to do something physical (play ball, climb tress, etc.).
WHAT WERE YOU LIKE AS A TEENAGER? I was a skirt-chaser as a teenager. I went through a bit of a rebellion, and for a while I was that kid, the one sneaking cigarettes behind school and going to parties. I never really overdid anything and for the most part it was all innocent, but I'm sure I caused my parents (God bless them) a sleepless night or two.

STORYLINES
GREG'S GIRLS openopenopen A FREQUENTER OF THE NIGHTCLUB SCENE, MIERS IS LIKE ANY OTHER RED-BLOODED MALE. WHILE HE REFUSES TO DATE AND DOESN'T TAKE ANY OF THESE WOMEN HOME, HE IS ALWAYS SEEN WITH AT LEAST ONE OF THEM WHEN AT SOCIAL EVENTS. ESCORTS OF SORTS, THEY ARE ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT YOUNG, AND ALWAYS WELL-EDUCATED (OR AT LEAST GOOD AT FAKING IT). THERE HAVE BEEN RUMORS ABOUT THE UNSAVORY BACKGROUND OF A FEW AND AT LEAST ONE HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF BEING A PROFESSIONAL ESCORT. ALL THAT IS REALLY KNOWN, THOUGH, IS THAT THESE GIRLS ARE SOME OF THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT GET TO SEE A SOFTER SIDE OF GREG, AND WHILE HE DOESN'T DATE THEM, HE MAKES SURE TO TAKE CARE OF THEM, OFTEN LAVISHING THEM WITH GIFTS AND TREATS. HE EVEN ENDED UP WALKING ONE OF THE GIRLS DOWN THE AISLE WHEN SHE GOT MARRIED.
THE PRINCESS npc. MADISON DENAE MIERS aka MADDIE IS THE LIGHT AND LOVE OF GREG'S LIFE. WHILE HE IS KNOWN FOR BEING A SHORT-TEMPERED ASSHOLE PROFESSIONALLY, AROUND MADDIE HE IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON. HE SPOILS HIS LITTLE GIRL TO DEATH, BUT ALSO DEMANDS A LOT OF HER, INCLUDING GOOD GRADES, FLUENCY IN FRENCH AND A SLEW OF MANNERS. SHE IS PERHAPS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD HE WOULD GIVE UP EVERYTHING, INCLUDING HIS LIFE, FOR.
THE NANNY avac MORE THAN JUST A NANNY, AVERY IS GREGORY'S HOME-BASED ASSISTANT. SHE NOT ONLY WATCHES MADDIE, BUT COOKS, CLEANS, AND GENERALLY TAKES CARE OF THE HOUSE. SHE ALSO GETS GREGORY'S DRY-CLEANING, MAKES OUT HIS SCHEDULE, AND HELPS ORGANIZE HIS WORK. WHILE HE DOES HAVE OTHER ASSISTANTS, HE TRUSTS AVERY THE MOST AND TENDS TO HEAP ON MORE WORK ON HER THAN SHE OUGHT TO HAVE WITHOUT TRULY MEANING TO.
THE STUDENT open GREGORY JOINED THE MENTORING PROGRAM AT GEORGETOWN LAW AS A WAY TO GET THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH THAT ALL SENATORS TEND TO PARTICIPATE IN OUT OF THE WAY. WHEN HE JOINED, HE WAS HOPING TO HAVE A BRIGHT, RUTHLESS YOUNG MAN THAT HE COULD GUIDE AND FORM INTO A MINI-POLITICIAN TO EVENTUALLY JOIN HIS TEAM. WHAT HE ENDED UP GETTING WAS ____, THE NICE AMERICAN GIRL WITH A YOUNG HUSBAND AND AN APPITITE FOR JUSTICE. THE PROGRAM IS MEANT TO PAIR UP LAW STUDENTS WITH LAWYERS AND OTHER PEOPLE IN THE BUSINESS OF LAW TO HELP GUIDE THEM, ENCOURAGE THEM AND OTHERWISE INTRODUCE THEM INTO THE WORLD. IT IS NOT ONLY A TOOL FOR STUDY, BUT ALSO A NETWORKING TOOL, MEANT TO HELP THE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN MAKE THE CONNECTIONS THEY NEED TO GET A GOOD SPOT ONCE THEY GRADUATE, AND WHILE GREGORY IS SKEPTICAL ABOUT ____, HE NONETHELESS TAKES HIS "JOB" SERIOUSLY.
THE INTERN open coming soon.
