I'm only 6 days older than Robin Williams' daughter. I can't imagine losing my dad.

Looking through his filmography on wikipedia, and I have seen very little Robin Williams movies, well that needs to change. Friend of mine posted on Facebook about how he was one of her favorite actors... others joined in, as did I, in discussing his movies. She kept saying that Hook and Doubtfire were his best roles... we soon learned she's only seen those two and Aladdin. It's really upsetting that he isn't remembered more for his incredible roles in Dead Poets Society, Insomnia, etc.

Absolutely heartbroken over this news. He took part in many of my favorite movies growing up. An incredible comedian and actor who will truly be missed. Goes to show how dangerously serious depression can be. ~R.I.P. Robin Williams~ ~1951-2014~

Good Will Hunting is probably my favorite movie of his. Dude is a legend.
This sucks ass.
RIP

Gutted. Crushed. Stunned. Many words to describe this news. RIP Robin you'll be missed.

Very, very sad. My Facebook feed has just been blown up with this. It just goes to show that mental illness is something that should be taken very seriously.

I just saw this on another site, and was shocked. The guy just had that gift of making people laugh. He's one of few comics, whose stand up work, could get me laughing hard enough to bring tears to my eyes. It sucks, the world is a little less funny now without him.

I've been a fan of Robin Williams since the 70s. He was always entertaining in his roles on TV and in the movies but for me he was at his best when he was doing improv comedy. I don't think I've ever seen anybody who could take a simple idea and create a hilarious routine out of it completely off the top of his head. I remember a Carol Burnett special where they did a sketch as it was scripted and it was very funny. They came back from a commercial break and Carol said that Robin wanted to do the sketch again so they did. He improvised a completely different routine that had the audience laughing even harder and caused the other performers to lose it during the sketch. An amazing talent that will be missed.

So many of his movies shaped my tastes, and the movies I want to make.
I'm so crushed down to my core by this news. You know you're getting older when your childhood heroes have started checking out. I don't think I've hurt this badly at news of a celeb death since MJ.
Depression is such a serious, and dangerous illness people deal with quietly. It's not a joke, and not to be taken lightly. We all should do our best to reach out to those who suffer. At the very worst -- maybe they'll know just how much they mean to people before they leave this Earth.
Mrs. Doubtfire, Aladdin, Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting, The Birdcage, Jumanji. His stand up. The man was a legend. One of the greatest screen comedy actors of all time.
The World is now a little less funny -- but tonight may the stars shine a bit brighter for you, sir. Thank you.

Robin Williams is the reason all I wanna achieve in this life is entertain and bring joy to as many people as I can. I wish I had the opportunity to meet him. I still think the coolest thing he ever did was naming his daughter Zelda just because he was such a big fan of the video games.

often the funniest ones are the ones hurting inside...
This still shocks me despite knowing of his problems.
RIP Robin, thanks for the laughs and memories

Just had to post th clips of some of the bits he did when he guest stared on Whose Line Is It Anyways back in the Drew Carey run. Just funny stuff.
Again, it's just sad to see the lost of such a good talent. He was one of those special kind of performers that actually had range. He was able to do comedic roles or serious roles, be the hero you rooted for, or the villain you wanted to see taken down. He could be dirty and adult oriented with his stand up, while on the flip side be super clean, and geared towards children. He really spread across many ranges of fans, and that's part of what made him special. He just didn't fit one mold. A true entertainer like Robin Williams could make you feel so many different emotions. That's what made him so special, and that's why so many people are going to miss him. That and he was just a genuine human being, that admitted his faults, and didn't try to act like he was better than others. And when I was flipping through the news channels they had Henry Winkler on CNN, and like he said, at least we've gotten all of his vast works recorded, they're there for his fans to enjoy his work, and they're there for future generations to fall in love with, and become fans of him, even with him no longer here.
