CNN: Writer/Actor Spalding Gray is missing....

[Dookus]

no other info. They just reported it quickly.

Has anybody heard anymore about this? I love Spalding Gray...

[Guaranteed]

1. Yeah, I heard that too.

I heard he has a history of depression, tried to kill himself in 2002. It's really sad- that guy's hilarious. I hope he's alright.

[Dookus]

2. wow, I hadn't heard that about him...

I hope he's ok, too. He's brilliant.

5. SoCal, thank you...

...I didn't know the name, so I couldn't place a face to it, but with your photo, I now know who he is.

Funny guy!

19. Perhaps Gray has figured out a way not to be found -

- upon throwing his ace, duce. I hope I'm wrong and Spalding is found up state.

Severe depression is a terrible thing. At times we all go through a little depression, and it last only for a short time. (Speaking for myself)

6. Damn! I love the man's work!

I hope he's alright!

7. Swimming to Cambodia

That is right is it not?

That is the work of his I am familiar with and it was brilliant. I hope he is found, such minds are terrible to lose.

9. You're right. It's mentioned in this article from CBS

11. Swimming to Cambodia is the most incredible, intense...

..."one man show" I've ever seen (directed by the great Jonathan Demme). "Monster in a Box" is another of Spalding Gray's monologue films that isn't to be missed.



Man, I really hope he's okay - he's a brilliant and entertaining guy...

10. great talent..were is Spalding ?

[Atman]

12. I saw him in Northampton

At the Academy of Music, a few years ago...I forget the name of the monologue he did, if it even had one. He was up front about the fact that he was trying out new material for his next project, and that he was experimenting on the audience (but isn't that just what artists do with each performance?) Still, it was a fantastic evening. He just sits there at his desk and tells stories. Described that way, it sounds so boring, but it was not at all...the evening flew by, and you wanted him to continue.

BTW, Spalding was also one of the main characters in the movie in The Killing Fields (did someone already mention this?)

13. I hope and pray that he is OK

a brilliant mind , just brilliant

18. Check it out, Syd.

A B-52 lost it's homing beacon. It dropped its load over...


(Is that the line?)

[supernova]

14. Damn! I hope they find him

and he's alive.

I've so enjoyed his work over the years.

[catzies]

16. I loved him in David Byrne's "True Stories" from the 80s...

"Linda! Larry! There's no such thing as weekends anymore!"
