Holy [censored] that sucks!

[youtalkfunny]

58 years old. Man, that bites.

Too bad. Extrememly underrated actor.

[Leaky Eye]

I guess the writers knew it was coming....

Heart attack? How tragically ironic.

This sucks a lot.

CC1 - Ahhhh that sucks. He's a great actor. Loved him in L.A. Law also.

Saddened by this news,

Terribly shocked and saddened. Though the better days of West Wing are decidedly in the past, I still enjoy the show and have always loved Spencer's portrayal of Leo (perhaps the most fleshed-out character in a group of great characters). The end of last season was a tear-jerker when he was tabbed to be VP.

Spencer was a wonderful actor. I know nothing about him personally, but his talents will certainly be missed.

That's really sad. I was really starting to get into the show again. I don't think I've ever missed an episode but there was certainly a writing shortfall for awhile.

Anybody know how many shows they've already filmed/ Speculations on a new running mate?

[Shilly]

Wow. I would watch the show occasionally, and he did an awesome job.

[eviljeff]

bummer.. I thought he did well in The Rock as well

[TheNoodleMan]

So sad. He was phenominal on The West Wing.
I thought the prospects of the show surviving in the new administration were suspect before and I have to think that they're even dicer now.
