A sad day indeed. Loved his movies and the comedy he brought to people. RIP

It appears that being a funny man can only last so long. Robin was found dead with death due to Suicide by Asphyxia.
In 1978, whilst sitting in my car having lunch, my radio was tuned to ABC. How, I don't know but they played 20 minutes of a skit entitled "Reality, what a concept". It was the first time I had ever heard the "F" word broadcast and piddled my self laughing. Two little jokes have always stuck in my mind from that show - You ever wondered what chairs think about all day, woops here comes another "A" hole Now I do for you a native New York impression, a New York echo - "Hello", "shut de "F" up" I have never in my enjoyed the comedy of any one as much as him. Cheers Vincenzo

RIP Genie. It is not often I comment when an actor dies but Robbin Williams was one of my favourites. Can almost name every movie he has been in because I have seen most. But standouts are Alladdin (after more than 20yrs I still don't tire of it) Good will hunting and Mrs doubtfire. They are my favs could rattle off so many more.

For me the favourites are "Dead poet society" and "Goooooooooood Morning Vietnam" and lets not forget the voice of Ramone, the Peurto Rican Penguin.
Isn't it strange that someone's death / departure makes us all think of something humourous / funny / happy! Cheers Vincenzo

RIP Robin. I always got the sense he had a very kind soul, something that seems to be backed by many who knew who. Such a shame. I'll miss his comedy.

RIP Robin, a great comedian and actor. I just love his description of golf.

RIP Robin! Loved him in "Good Will Hunting". His performance was the highlight of the movie and was rightfully acknowledged (he won the academy award for best supporting actor).

What a shame. He could make a statue eventually laugh. I loved seeing him outside his movies/stand-up, and on a talk show. He would completely take over. A comedian for comedians.
