Farewell, Spalding

The NYC police have confirmed tonight that a body pulled last night from the East River was that of Spalding Gray, writer and actor, who disappeared after leaving his apartment in mid-January. They believe he probably committed suicide by jumping from the Staten Island Ferry.

Aside from his mental demons or perhaps because of, I've always liked Gray's work. His monologues were superb, his delivery even better, and he was great in every movie I ever saw him in - usually as the enigmatic, eccentric smaller character rather than the lead.

I'm sorry that he apparently felt he could no longer continue.
