Spalding Gray, actor, Obie award winning writer, and master of the confessional monologue, went missing in New York the night of January 10, 2004. His art has been marked by periods of intense pain and depression, including a rare eye disease, a disfiguring car accident, and several suicide attempts. Dubbed "a new wave Mark Twain", he has written several books and has acted in more than three dozen movies, including The Killing Fields, Beyond Rangoon, and film versions of three of his monologues. He is also an acclaimed live performer, co-founding the avante garde troup The Wooster Group and appearing on Broadway. He is best known for his confessional solo pieces, which regularly garner high praise from critics. His books are primarily autobiographical monologues, although Impossible Vacation is a novel, Seven Scenes from Family Album is a rare chapbook, and In Search of the Monkey Girl features stories and photographs of circus performers.

Update: Sadly, Mr. Gray's body was found on March 8, 2004. Our condolences go out to his family and friends; he will be deeply missed.
