I had the privilege of meeting John once as the founder of his fan organization - and I still weep fir his loss. My profound thanks to whoever produced this moving tribute.
Been a few years since West Wing was on TV. I have it on DVD, seen it may times. It is my favourite tv series. But it would not be the same without John Spencer.
He will live on through his work. What more can anyone aim for?
Little do people know he is based of a REAL person Named Leo McGarry who lived in Dayton Ohio where Mr.Sheen is from. Leo McGarry was a WW2 POWMIA for over a year in Nazi teritory, he was also my great uncle. Im a Mcgarry, its so cool lol
He couldnt have been more happy to go ..when he is at the top...Thank god for west wing. otherwise, He would have been forgotten like the other great actors who just faded away.
"We're going to raise the level of public debate in this country and let that be our legacy." The West Wing has left that legacy brilliantly! The funny and interesting thing is it appears to be happening again on YOUTUBE. God bless everyone involved in posting these clips.
OMG! All I remembered about him was way back in '89's Black Rain
with Michael Douglas!! It's sad he passed away like that, but his Emmy win for West Wing was certainly one of his crowning acheivements. God bless John Spencer.
I have watched him since his days on LA Law--he has always had this intense genuine humanity in his acting, so much that in each case you could not imagine him playing any other part.
Ths is beautifully done!!! I think it is fantastic that you encorporated the quotes of the cast about him in this tribute.
