'West Wing' actor dies at 58
So, when I first saw this I started thinking "how old is martin sheen" then I quickly thought, if it was him, it would have his name in the headline, not a teaser to get you to click read.
anyway, RIP John Spencer. http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/1....ap/index.html |

I wonder how the show will handle it, if the season was finished or not also how this may effect plans to do another 4 year run using either Smits or Alda as president. |

RIP.
I believe this or next season were going to be the final seasons of the show anyway. I stopped watching a while back but I am curious how they will handle it. |

John Spencer was a terrific actor and he will be sorely missed. The first thing that came to mind was how horrible a case of life imitating art this was. Just last season, Leo had a massive heart attack and nearly dies, and now this year, he's apparently felled by the same affliction.
Rest in peace, John. Thoughts and prayers go to your family. |

Now, I could be wrong, I remember that first episode and I was pretty sure Leo wasn't in it, because if he was, it would have given away weather or not he was VP. I remember (charecter names) Toby, Josh, CJ & Will... I remember him refering to Will as a Senator or Congressman... Maybe Leo was there, but I'm drawing a blank. |

(of course, I only offer this bet after doing a search and finding a breakdown of the episode, which talkes about CJ. Danny, Charlie, Toby, Will, Kate & Josh being there and no mention of Leo, which would make sense because when Josh says "the president is here" it pans to a limo and shows feet). I honestly couldn't remember, but did a few googles and found breakdowns with no mentions of him in that scene. Kinda freaky how he has a heart attack on the show and now has on in real life. |

Anyway, I don't think I've seen the guy in anythingelse, but he was a good actor and it was a good character. |

Also, there are 5 more episodes filmed with him in it, and they're trying to decide how to finish the season, they refrenced the Sopranos who used some CGI and standins when Tony's mother died (the actress). |

That sucks. I know who that guy is and I don't watch the West Wing.
