Spalding Gray Missing

I know I'm late to this, but it's TV press tour time, so cut me some slack. Like other fans of his work, I'm rather sad to see that monologist Spalding Gray -- he of "Gray's Anatomy" and "Swimming to Cambodia" fame -- is missing and feared dead.

Of course, anyone who's seen the movies of his performances, read his books or caught him in person knows that Gray has suffered from depression and has attempted suicide in the past. His monolgues have also touched ocassionally on the impact of his mother's suicide.

Reports the New York Post: The angst-ridden writer and actor disappeared Saturday night "without his credit cards, his wallet and with no medication," said Tara Newman, speaking for Gray's heartsick wife, Kathie Russo.

And police were checking a report that Gray was spotted on a ferry Friday - on what his loved ones dread may have been a test run.

Gray - a manic depressive who has twice attempted suicide - had tried jumping off a ferry in September but was stopped by a friend, sources said.

I've seen Gray twice, one at the Alex Theater in Glendale and once at UCLA; both performances were several years ago.
