NEW YORK -- It took almost 60 years, but the father of "West Wing'' star Richard Schiff is finally getting his bachelor's degree from City College.
Edward Schiff dropped out of the college, where he'd been studying business, to get a bachelor's and law degree in an accelerated program at Brooklyn Law School in the late 1940s.
He was inspired to hit the books again after watching his son -- who played the character Toby Ziegler on the long-running NBC drama -- receive an honorary doctorate from CCNY, his alma mater, two years ago.
Edward Schiff, who's 78, will get the degree Thursday.
