I heard about this on the way home from work. Robin Williams has to be one of my all-time favorite actors. Hell, his line from Good Morning, Vietnam is my flipping alarm to wake me up in the mornings for work. I practically grew up with the guy on TV and, when I got my BSA Eagle Scout rank, he was the first to send back a congratulations letter on the award. I still have his autographed photo sealed up in my safe lol I'm gonna miss the guy. Gonna really miss him.

Genuinely saddened by this. His movies help me through tough times, wonderful human being. Also one of the biggest anime fans in Hollywood.
Rest in Peace you Prince of Laughter.

The two most influential figures in my life - dramatically, comedically, and politically - were George Carlin and Robin Williams. Both of them had a considerable effect on the person I grew into, how I view the world, and how I choose to see hardship. It's a little ironic that now I'm having to use what they taught me to deal with their passing.
At one point, Carlin did a routine about how he viewed the idea of the deceased sitting up on clouds in the sky "smiling down on us," so I'm not going to do any of those stupid "better place" feel-good metaphors. We lost a great man to the evils of his own inner demons. There's no way to sugar-coat that. So instead of deluding myself or grieving for what's gone, I'm going to appreciate what is. And what will endure for long years into the future.
Robin Williams left his mark in a way few others can claim. If anyone else is as upset about his death as I am, I'd recommend you do what I'm doing. Find your top five Robin Williams things of all time. Whether it might be his silly movies, his emotionally touching ones, or his brilliant stand-up career, go watch him in better times. Remember him for that. Most important of all, just remember him. He deserves that much.
And to Mr. Williams. I know I'll never be able to forget you, or anything you've done. Thank you.
Obligatory stinger joke: Everyone knows the dead have better eyesight than the living. Of course he could read that message.

Shab... I really don't know how I didn't hear about this earlier, It's sad to hear that Robin Williams is dead, it's even harder to believe that he actually is gone, I just recently watched Good Will Hunting too, probably one of the best movies I have ever watched...
I guess I'm going to be down for a while, maybe I'll watch the rest of his movies in that time...
Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la...

Such awful news to break today, and so sad.
I think the loss of Robin Williams is the first real actor to leave us that has hit me hardest from growing up with his films. I may only be 29 but from the early 90s I can remember early morning showings of ‘Mork & Mindy’ that captured my imagination wish such a wide-eyed, fun and warm comedic actor such as he, making me giggle at his boundless energy and zany antics as Mork.
Then came such fantastical films as ‘Popeye’ and ‘Hook’ when I was younger, but getting older then evolving with the classics such as ‘Mrs Doubtfire’, ‘Aladdin’, ‘Jumanji’, ‘Dead Poets Society’…I could go on because each film captivated me with the humour, drama and emotion he brought to such varied roles. But what I love about him is the ability to be family friendly and appealing to all ages when required. Yes, he can be an adult comedic when the time and setting is right, but for someone growing up with his films, his puppy-dog expression, cuddly aura and zest for entertaining was never lost on me and just made me respect and admire him even more!
Even the 00s gave us wonderful new genres from him to thrill us with like ‘Insomnia’ and ‘One Hour Photo’ showing more of his real acting ability away from comedy. And who can deny it was great to see him back on comedic family fun form with ‘Night At The Museum’!
I’m getting away with myself here – but putting it simply I will miss the continued projects from Robin Williams, but now each film will be tinged with the sadness he is no longer here but the passion he had will resonate even more now and I will champion his TV, film and stand-up work as long as I live as a real comedic genius and benchmark of American (and global) entertainment.
And if I can take anything from this tragic loss, I hope the world will open its eyes a little more to the reality of depression as an illness that really needs to be supported and understood in respect for those who have it, as it just shows that what we see on the outside will never truthfully tell us what is going on inside someone who, like us, behind the smile and the fame and fortune, was only human after all.
God bless you Euphegenia. Thank you for all the hours of fun you brought to us, and will continue to through your legacy.
