He was a comic genius. He could also play anything like Sy Parrish in One Hour Photo which was a role he wasn't found in often Legit one of my favorite roles of his

Rest in peace Robin. Very sad ending indeed. An immensely talented and diverse individual that brought a smile to many lives, including mine. Thoughts are with his family.

when i first heard this, all i could think of was his 2009 movie 'world's greatest dad' where he plays the father of a son who accidentally asphyxiated himself and he covers it as a suicide.
i have it out for shephard smith now as well after his comments regarding williams.

He was excellent in the 200th Law and Order SVU episode Authority. It was kind of like his role in One Hour Photo

This sucks i watched a pretty average Robin Williams film a few months ago (so average i can't remember what it was called) with Mila Kunis in it and she has to talk him out of Killing himself, she is successful but its a shame that in real life he he actually did it.
Great actor, i actually preferred his more serious work like Good Will Hunting,Dead Poets Socity and One hour photo but his Family comedies are also part of my Childhood, i loved Mrs Doubtfire and Junmanji for example. R.i.P. I'll have to re watch some of his work and ones that i missed as well.

Shepard Smith is a dirt bag, always has , always will be. He apparently apologized saying it just came out of his mouth and he's deeply sorry he ever said it. The only reason he's sorry he said it, was because of how many people he's got pissed off at him now for saying it.
I knew it would happen, and it finally did tonight, ready the countless statements from people in Hollywood, and I cried. With every message I read, my eyes just watered more and more, until I had actual tears in my eyes. I have no problem admitting that. And it really says something about the type of person Williams was, that people that never met him feel like they've lost a member of their family with his death. He's a perfect example of how the world would be a much better place if we had more people that were like him. You keep hearing that you could see he was happy when he knew he could make others happy. It's just a sad irony that a man who could bring happiness and joy to so many people had times where he could have that same happiness and joy in him. Depression is a hell of a thing, and it's sad to see how it can take the best of humanity like Robin. But over the past 24 hours, seeing all the out pouring of love from both Hollywood, and fans alike, one thing is for sure, while Robin Williams the man may be gone from this world, for everything he did in his 63 years, for all the lives he touch, whether directly, or indirectly, he's achieved immortality. While in recent memory, with a lot of the bad we've had in or world, showing us the worst of human nature, Robin Williams was a bright light to show the flip side, to show us the very best of human nature.

What the . I hate the media... I hate the media SO MUCH. This is just a small example of why people don't respect media anymore, and a giant example of why Fox News is such a joke. Go peddle some more fear, you whores. I think our current President is pushing for confrontation in the middle east again.. Wait that's not George Bush! Didn't a plane get shot down a while back? Aren't we teetering on the brink of war with other nations? Where's the oil at bro?! BREAKING NEWS: Robin Williams committed suicide, battled depression, and is a coward.. Here's 6 straight hours of coverage! He was a human being that brought joy to everyone across the world.. He can't be remembered for that? No, let's talk about his pot use and coke addiction.. Let's talk about him in rehab for alcohol, and then we can fly helicopters over his house. "News" network. Pssh.

When Michael Jackson died, I watched the REAL coverage of his death.. On MTV when they played like 3 days of Michael Jackson music videos.. That's how you honor the death of a talented celebrity that brought joy to others when others had nothing else.

I can't begin to wonder what his family members are going through. Knowing that's how your dad or grandfather went out, it really is incredible how someone can be so severely hurting on the inside, and not give away any sense of depression. This tragic passing really makes me upset, i'm not going to say I was his biggest fan or anything but he was a big part of my childhood, all his movies made me laugh a lot. Horrible loss. R.I.P
