R.I.P. Spalding Gray

I was very sad to hear last night that the body Spalding Gray has finally been found. He disappeared at the end of January, and given his history of despression, everyone feared the worst. And alas, the worst has happened.

I've loved his monologues since I saw the film of Swimming to Cambodia in university. I never managed to see him live, and now I never will, but he never failed to delight me when I saw him, either as a character actor or doing his own works on stage.
