This is an especially moving piece of work, and it mustn't have been easy to capture Leo McGarry -- and John Spencer -- so well. I was lucky enough to spend a couple of hours with John Spencer in 2000 at AIDS Walk LA. He was a stalwart supporter of AIDS Project Los Angeles and he walked the whole route each year, falling in with me and my group that year just by chance. What a remarkable, optimistic, passionate and vibrant man he was! He died far too soon.
i signed up to youtube specially to comment on your video. THIS IS REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD. man. you made me just miss leo so much now. i love your choice of scenes and the music... man. wonderfully done. wonderful.
Whoa. Usually I'm not into montages but this was excellent! We are coming up to five years now so its only expected to think about him now. I miss John. :(
"Thanks Boss" - I agree with the others that have posted high compliment to you and this wonderful tribute. And yes, shame on NBC for not doing a better job of remembering John.
It is very impressive that you didn't just take shots of John Spencer but took moments where he was expressing something or had just said something profound, a lot of reaction shots, it makes the whole thing all the better. Definitely worth your time, thank you.
Thank you for making this. I always felt that TWW should have done a more complete tribute to Spencer. They probably could not have topped this. I loved JS since LA Law and I did indeed cry when he died. He was brilliant.
AWESOME! I love all the West Wing Characters, but if I had to chose a favorite, I would be hard-pressed not to pick Leo. You really did his character justice here.
Quality, Quality, Quality. A brilliant actor who was taken too soon, much like many brilliant people that shape our world and touch our lives.
Been off the air for so many years but watching this still brings tears to my eyes. The best drama ever. Thank You John. You were amazing. 😭
I search for John on the internet. A lot.
Love and gratitude from India for this video
RIP John Spencer. Brilliant Tribute, one of the best i've seen, fantastic ending, MARGARET!!
At the time of his passing, Mr. Spencer was buried in Totowa, NJ about 1 1/2 miles from where I lived in Paterson....he was a great actor.
I love that scene. I love the look on John Spencer's face. Man I miss this show and John Spencer.
WOW!! Beautiful song and a very very touching video.

On the brink of tears? I AM in tears! That was wonderful.

It's from the last episode of season 6. When Leo asks Josh who are him and Santos planning to choose as VP, he answers "You". I loved that scene.

can you imagine the anxiety of the crew and the cast when John was running by the Oval...
man oh man. This video gets to me. great job.
That was nicely put together... and seriously very sad... in real life... :(
its from season 7 (early) when josh tells leo that he wants him to become Santos' running mate
AWESOME! I love all the West Wing Characters, but if I had to chose a favorite, I would be hard-pressed not to pick Leo. You really did his character justice here.
I had to add another comment, thanks for the ending... :) :)
Cool video
I agree
I held it together until your "Margaret!" at the end.
Oh god.
Thanks.
THANKS FOR ruining my make up!
