John Spencer, RIP
As you may have heard, John Spencer died of a heart attack at the age of 58 earlier this week. Spencer was best known for his work as Leo McGarry on The West Wing. In a slightly sickening irony, Spencer’s character also suffered from heart trouble on the show.
This is a real loss to the show and the industry, as Spencer was such a fine actor. I was regularly in awe of his work on The West Wing, and when I caught him in the occasional movie. He was nominated for five Emmys and won once.
