I'm very saddened to find out that Spalding Gray has passed away. Bless you Spalding! Thanks for the laughs.

The New York City medical examiner's office has confirmed that the body pulled out of East River Sunday is that of missing actor-writer Spalding Gray.

Spalding Gray
Talk of the Nation audio

GUESTS: SPALDING GRAY *Writer, actor and performer *Creator of 18 monologues, including the Obie Award winning "Swimming to Cambodia" and his latest work, "Morning, Noon and Night" Actor, writer and performer Spalding Gray has made a career out of reporting on himself. Known for his epic monologues, what's different about his stories, according to Gray, is that everything he says is true. Part stand-up comedy, part psychoanalytic free association, Gray's newest work focuses on the latest chapter in his life - domesticity on Long Island. Melinda Penkava talks with performance artist Spalding Gray.

1. He was terrific.
"Swimming to Cambodia" and "Monster in a box" were both classics wich helped define my own personal political views.
He will be missed.
