Milano serves as a United States goodwill ambassador for UNICEF and is a founding member of the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases.

Robin Bronk: If you had five minutes in the Oval Office with President Obama, what would you discuss with him?
Alyssa Milano: Global health.

RB: What issue would you like him to know about?
AM: The neglected diseases of poverty.

RB: If you could give President Obama one piece of advice, what would that be?
AM: Be the guy I elected into office.

RB: If you could ask President Obama one question, what would that be?
AM: What do you think about LeBron’s move, and our obsession with it? What does it say about us as a society?

RB: Would you ever consider a political career?
AM: Never. You have to have a certain amount of game to have a career in politics. I have no game. (Although I am pretty good at Scrabble.)
