Actor-writer Spalding Gray, afflicted by depression since a 2001 car crash, was missing Tuesday after disappearing over the weekend from his Manhattan home.
Police in New York City and Long Island had joined in the search for the 62-year-old actor, who is noted for his one-man shows in which he tells of his life in artful, witty monologues.
His wife reported Gray missing over the weekend. Police also were checking a report that Gray may have been planning a ski trip to Colorado.
A head-on car crash during a 2001 vacation in Ireland left Gray disheartened and in poor health, and he tried jumping from a bridge near his Long Island home in October 2002.
He was hospitalized twice for depression after the crash, and his suicide attempt canceled the run of a new solo piece, “Black Spot.” Gray’s mother committed suicide when she was 52.
