I just stumbled upon a sad story… John Spencer, who played Leo McGarry on ‘The West Wing’, died today at the age of 58 (he would have been 59 next week). Aparently he had a heart attack, which is an evil parallel to last season’s story line where he suffered a heart attack while serving as the President’s Chief of Staff.

He was a great actor and one of the best remaining on ‘The West Wing’ cast. It will be interesting to see how the show handles the premature departure of Leo. More information can be found on CNN.com.
