West Wing's John Spencer dead, heart attack
 

He was the chief of staff on the show.

I always enjoyed him, he was in a few good movies, small parts. Will be interesting to see how they handle the situation and who will replace him.

not surprised he has not looked healthy in a long tiime

he was in wargames :thumbsup

Hrmm thats pretty shitty. I liked him on West Wing. I think this season is probably pretty much in the can but I wonder how they will handle it next season.

He was only going to be 59 in 4 days. Damn. I thought he was quite a bit older than that.

RIP

I've always liked him...better tham Sheen

I think he was in L.A. Law, too.

RIP

Big loss... sad news.

wow, didn't he just have a heart attack on the show last season?

Noooo.. I like him. I loved LA Law. :(

wow thats ducked up..
WW is one of my favorite shows..
and he's running for VP now with Jimmy Smits..
WTF

yep. :(

I think this was gonna be the last season for WW anyway. Too bad. Great show tho its gone downhill some this year. He was great on it

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo but i liked leo *sniff*

He was a great actor, I'll miss seeing him.

Alan Alda is going to win on The West Wing anyway.

Wow..that is quite the shock..RIP John

Well i guess they are going choose that ending since john will not be around to be the vp.

He was also in the Rock, the guy who Sean Connery threw off the balcony.

hate that stupid show

Doubt it... but won't matter..
show is supposedly done after this season

Damn - that's fucked up! It's also very ironic because the whole reason "Leo" was no longer the Chief Of Staff was a massive heart attack on the show.

What a twist it'll make in the show's plot now.

RIP John - you were a great actor!

RIP, i liked him... :(

just last week he said something to the effect of "you guys are trying to kill me" in a joking but serious manner too..

It really sucks ass that he died. I loved him on WW. Besides Josh, he was my favorite character. He seemed like a totally different person when he was on the celebrity poker which I think was a good indication of his acting ability. Sad to see him go.

As far as WW is concerned, I would like to see Alda win. I would be very interested in seeing the administration from a republican perspective (if the liberals in hollywood could pull it off) even though Alda is portrayed as an anti-religious, pro-life republican (which already seems to prove that hollywood cannot pull it off). Though I think they did an excellent job when they had Goodman as president. He was fantastic as a republican.

Damn... May he rest in peace. :(

Only on season 6 here in the UK, but I read somewhere that one episode of season 7 contains a flash-forward three years that has Leo as VP. Obviously not going to happen now.

nope the flash forward has everyone meeting again, and they are supposed to meet with the current president, for the opening of the jed bartlet memorial lib. BUT the scene flashs back to the present when the door of the limo opens up.

you never get to see who the winner is supposed to be.

this is sad... :(

Well, fuck. :(

R.I.P.

I really liked him in the WW :(

rip man :(((((((((((

sad news...R.I.P J. Spencer
