No Cure For Spalding

Spalding Gray, the monologueist who had been missing for two months has just just been identified as the body that was recently discovered In the East River in New York. He appeared as a character actor in numerous films but become most well known for two movies displaying his one-man stage performances that featured a spartan set of a desk, a glass of water, and himself.

"Monster in a Box" detailed his anxieties while writing a novel, and the now cruelly ironic "Swimming to Cambodia" which was about his time spent as a bit player in the filming of "The Killing Fields" and had been directed by Jonathan Demme
