Default Actor John Spencer Passes Away

Always thought this guy was the best part about the West Wing. Very underated actor.

The West Wing is screwed now. It was hanging by a thread after Richard Schiff (Tobey) left and it has declined since Rob Lowe (Sam) left a couple seasons ago. Not sure how they will replace the VP nominee mid-election.

A real downer. The West Wing's my favourite show on TV and Spencer did a great job just this past week as the Dem leaders wanted Leo to take over the sagging Santos campaign. The show will miss him, no doubt.

I remember him more as an actor in one of my favorite video games, Wing Commander IV the price of freedom. He played the great whimpy bad guy who meets an unfortunate end

I remember that Wing commander IV had a great cast in it, including Casper Van Diem in a 4 second cameo, but your right Malcolm Mcdowell and Thomas Wilson (Biff from back to the future were solid in that game)

John Spencer had his throat slashed and he was tossed out of an airlock.

Great scene.

Damn...sad news.

Although, I must admit I'm as much saddened by the loss of a good character as anything, since I didn't know him as anything other than Leo.

He was great in Cop Land, a very underrated Stallone film.
