Rip Robin Williams

Suicide suspected.

He was great in Good Morning Vietnam

Robin Williams has entertained me and the family in his films and Mork and Mindy.

Very sad that someone who gave me and others so much enjoyment has felt so low and alone. Thank you for the fun, and rest in peace.

he was also terrific voicing the genie in Aladdin - more like his earlier improvational style, and the animators were able to work with it.

Unexpected and sad news. It's been a bad year for entertainers.

R.I.P.

I suppose when you have just finished 'Night at the Museum III', then you have achieved all your acting goals :-)

Dead Poet's society was a favourite of mine.

Very sad news about a very talented man

[wolf63]

It is sad that he had been so low and inner turmoil that he felt that his only option was to end his iLife. :-(

If only he'd talked to someone. They might have said, 'Think of all the joy and fun you've brought to people through your work, and imagine the hurt your going would cause'.

[woofgang]

ah no. wasnt he bi polar?

Sandy - a person suffering from Clinical Depression is in a place where logic and reasoning don't exist. Talking to someone 'may' help but it is unlikely to do much good.

When you feel that bad you feel that your options are limited. It is beyond description. Even thinking about Robin's suicide fills me with dread that this could be ahead of me.

:-(

Good Morning Vietnam was my favourite of him too. But he was good in whatever he did.

A sad loss.

[Peaspeculiars]

So very sad, such an interesting man in interviews, always tried hard to please the audience as a professional no matter what was going on behind the scenes. Perfect acting in Good Will Hunting. RIP.

I loved Robin Williams. I knew that he was bipolar and battled very severe moods and depression. He was extremely talented. What a loss he is to the industry and to his family and friends.

That's really sad new to wake up to, I enjoyed Robin Williams through the years - I hope he's finally at rest.

Just woken up to hear this news. I am so shocked. He was one of the funniest man I ever saw. Everybody will be talking about Good Morning Vietnam, Mrs Doubtfire, etc and they were all marvelous. But it was "Awakenings" that will remain my favourite. Williams was a much better straight actor than most people ever gave him credit for.

He used to be a heavy drug user and I am wondering if this was a factor in his apparent suicide ?
