My wife just told me this. This is pretty depressing. He was on a lot of my favorite movies as a kid.
he was a comedic savant. he could take any item and make a 30 minute comedy routine out of it. he will surely be missed.
One of my all-time favorite comedic actors. I don't think I ever saw a movie of his that I didn't like.
He was one of those rare performers that could do both comedy and drama and do it well. If you have a chance, and haven't seen it, get the movie What Dreams May Come, if you want to win points with your significant other. Visually stunning when I saw it years ago, I can't imagine what it's like now in this era of big screen TVs.
Heard this morning that he had suffered for years from drug abuse, alcoholism, and depression. The drug abuse I knew about, but not the other things. Also heard that he had checked himself into a rehab facility in July because his drug abuse demons were starting to return.
yeah it's a shame whenever something like this happens but this was a guy from all acounts that was a great person to so many.
I Am not just saying this to say it,but fighting depression is the biggest fight i have ever undertaken.There are some days when i beat it,but there are more days when it beats the crap out of me.Mine started when i lost my sister,my daddy and an uncle who was just like my daddy with in the scope of 3 years. I always considered myself tough,6ft 200 lbs,very atheletic. Depression whipped my ass like i was an infant. If you need help,get it please! it has given me the strength to fight and hang around over the feelings i have had to kill myself!
Depression really sucks. I battled it for years. I don't have any insurance for serious help but I struggle every day to make it through the day. It is hard. I have been through a lot, same as everyone, and I fight through it every day. Probably one day I may take that way out. I have no family nor a job. I depend on the kindness of a friend of mine to have a place to live and it gets to me sometimes. Robin Williams death really affected me for some reason.
we are bros. I mean I have no family to spend Thanksgiving, Christmas. Celebrate birthdays with., It is different. You feel alone. Like you are an outsider. My friend's family tells me that I am one of the family but I feel it is just to make me feel better. I was raised to not depend on anyone but family to help. Now, no family. I can't quite explain how lonely I feel. But I put on a smile and keep people laughing with jokes. That is how I can relate with Williams. My friends say I am like a stuttering Robin Williams but with less talent. I am too much of a chicken crap to do something else to die. But I put myself in harm's way for the hell of it. After trying twice I feel that I am not meant to die but to suffer needlessly for the rest of my life. I feel that there has to be equality in everything. When something good happens something bad has to happen to even things out. I was born to bear the brunt of a crapty life. It's cool though.
