Gray, Spalding (1941–2004), actor and monologist. The intense, experimental performer is mostly known for his autobiographical monologue programs covering everything from movie making to writer's block to fatherhood. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and educated at Emerson College before making his New York debut in 1968. Seven years later he co‐founded the alternative theatre company the
Wooster Group, where he wrote avant‐garde theatre pieces with Elizabeth LeCompte. Gray began doing his one‐man shows in 1979 and eventually was widely known because of
Swimming to Cambodia (1986),
Monster in a Box (1990),
Gray's Anatomy (1993), and other works. He occasionally performed in traditional plays as well, most notably as the Stage Manager in
Our Town (1988) and the liberal candidate William Russell in
The Best Man (2000).
