Going bust: West Wing and Thirtysomething star Timothy Busfield may lose his house
He was a beloved character on long-running U.S. show, The West Wing, so you'd think he'd have enough money to live on.
But it seems Timothy Busfield has hit a financial speed bump lately.
The 53 year-old actor, who played Danny Concannon, is facing foreclosure on his home.

According to U.S. website TMZ, Timothy hasn't been paying the mortgage on his $1.25 million house in Malibu, California.
His bank is now threatening to foreclose and auction off the house in early January.
They have apparently already given Timothy several chances to work out a payment plan, and offered to extend their foreclosure deadline once in September and again this month.
The actor is perhaps best known as Eliot Weston in the TV series Thirtysomething, for which he won an Emmy award for Best Supporting Actor.

But work has been fairly slow since then, plus the actor has gone through an expensive divorce, which may account for his lack of cash.
Most recently, Timothy was a regular on the short-lived series, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, which was soon cancelled.
But he then went on to land a job directing episodes of TV drama, Las Vegas.
He has also appeared in various episodes of Entourage playing himself, directing the fictional series Five Towns.
Finally Timothy guest-starred on a recent Law & Order episode.
His wife of 19 years, Jennifer, filed for divorce in 2007.
Claiming irreconcilable differences, she gained physical custody of their 16-year-old son, Samuel and demanded spousal support.
