The Hidden Connection Between JOHN SPENCER'S Real Life & His Character On The West Wing, LEO MCGARRY
Ойын-сауық
John Spencer had a long and successful career as an actor in both television and film spanning over 40 years. In this video, I review his early career and talk about the uncanny similarities between his real life and that of the final character he played, White House Chief Of Staff, Leo McGarry. #johnspencer #thewestwing #leomcgarry

Leo McGarry was such a beautiful, complex character on The West Wing and John Spencer brought that to life as well. When Spencer passed away during the show's 7th and final season, Leo's death was written into the script because we knew it was coming. The episodes Election Night, Part II and Requiem were poignant because you knew it was the cast saying goodbye to Spencer as much as it was the characters celebrating Leo. They saw Spencer as more of a friend than a co-star, a talented and brilliant actor gone too soon. May he rest in peace, and may his memory forever be a blessing. 🙏 Thanks so much for sharing, Steve! 👍 I have a super fun suggestion for you. Can I please suggest you do a "Whatever Happened To..." video on Paul Willson, the character actor best known for his recurring role as Paul Krapence on Cheers?

Thanks for sharing your comments! I love movies from the 80s!
I first became familiar with John Spencer in LA Law. I enjoyed everything I saw him in in clouding Presumed innocent Forget Paris Cop-land and The Rock. However my favorite role he played was in the west wing. I started watching the show after his run, but after watching it on A&E, I bought every season on eve. He was a tremendous actor, and I truly miss him
