Spalding Gray in "Drunks"

[fullscale008]

"life interrupted" gives you a good idea of the accident he was in. Spalding was more than that cherished soul, he was one of us. Without words at the end of a share. This occasion after the other. He was ordinary, but with words to go along with it

@fullscale008 Spald ordinary, I want what you are smoking, how about a charcoal suicide. or an ordinary drounding after watching a tim burton movie. Ya Good old ordinary spald.

I miss this bastard. Killed himself on the Staten Island Ferry; body washed ashore months later. This "speech" is not acting - it is something he strongly felt. He loved beer, he loved having a cocktail hour (after 5PM), and he loved listening to stories. This is Spalding Gray acting like he's not acting. This was Spalding.

I had no idea that the choir had so many problems ;-) RIP Spalding.

I miss Mr. Gray.

He seems weary here but still good. i was lucky to see him two consecutive nights in May 2002. Miss You Big Time, Spalding.

[sojourner67]

the sign of great acting -- you can feel behind the words.

I can't get enough of Spalding; he's like Bukowski, but with foresight, and talent.

This speech is very familiar. I'd bet that much of it was improvised and certainly taken from prior monologues....

OMFG I took one look at him and thought "PATRICK MCGOOHAN!!!" RIP Mr. Gray. You are missed.
