John Spencer, Who Played a Dedicated Politico on ‘The West Wing,’ Dies of Heart Attack at 58.

Thank you, Mr. Spencer, for your years of portraying a character that allowed us to escape into a fantasy world where politics is a higher calling and politicians are cerebral, far-sighted, reasonable, devoted, and know that serving the needs of the American people is their most important job.

Rest in Peace.
