This sucks. I almost cried when they did a special report on the world news tonight.

He was such a talented comedian and actor. I always thought he was a bit crazy when his shows (I had all of them on video tape years ago). I loved him Mrs. Doubtfire and "The Bird Cage."

He was a better serious actor than a comedian, I think.

So sad.

One of my favorite comedian actors, very sad news indeed

So much talent, so many personal problems. Really tragic. Crying or Very sad

Very sad news. Brilliant in Mrs Doubtfire and Good Will Hunting. Loved watching Mork & Mindy - Nanu Nanu, Robin, RIP.

Too many personal demons and they finally won. RIP to one of the funniest men whoever lived. Hope he finally found his peace.

I just found out and I am speechless. Just so sad. Depression can hit anyone.

I remember Mork & Mindy and my mom getting mad at me because I started refusing to sit on my bum and sat on my head instead, like Mork. Not just at home, but in public.

RIP Robin, you will be sorely missed. Crying or Very sad

I would recommend The Fisher King, if you haven't seen it.

If I had a school desk, I would stand on it and recite, "Oh Captain, My Captain." This loss reminds me to carpe diem.

WHAT? Oh shit. Oh shit.
I'm without words. Other than oh shit. And DAMMIT.
The Fisher King was brilliant, as was Dead Poet's Society.
DAMMIT. RIP.
Shit. Crying or Very sad

You are absolutely right.

Sad. :'(

He seemed to live life in overdrive. His lows must have been real bad. They say he was "always on", and that takes a toll.

A great actor and a comedy genius indeed. R.I.P Robin

Wait, seriously? Damn ... He certainly will be missed.

Small but unforgettable role-cameo in Hamlet.

Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2014 10:31 am

^^^^ Did you know he had a Pug called Leonard?

Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2014 6:39 pm

My favorite example if just how brilliant he was. This is part of an hour-long show that was edited down from something around four hours. If you're not familiar with the show, the audience is primarily acting students. When he grabs the woman's scarf and goes full-on freestyle...there's a short list of people who could do that.

Actually, the list might be zero now. Sad day.
