Attended Horace Mann School in Riverdale, New York (Class of '84). Brother in law of fellow The West Wing cast mate Timothy Busfield. His wife, Melissa Merwin is the sister of Busfield's wife Jenny Merwin. While in the cast of Aaron Sorkin's Broadway play "A Few Good Men," Malina and Sorkin were members of a bowling league composed of cast and crew from Broadway shows. One night, Sorkin bought the team a tray of hamburgers and, while trying to entertain the group, started to choke on a bite of one. Although he did not know how to perform the Heimlich Maneuver, Malina attempted to perform it on Sorkin, dislodging the burger and breaking three of Sorkin's ribs in the process. Malina told an audience at the University of Florida that early in his career, he was disallowed from auditioning for a pizza commercial that took place during Passover because the auditioners wanted him actually to eat the pizza and he refused (because pizza dough is leavened, rendering it not kosher for Passover). He offered to mime eating the pizza instead, but the advertisement's casting agents insisted he had to eat the pizza or he would not be able to audition.
