Robin Williams, 1951-2014. He will be missed.
Today is a sad day. He was a great actor who will be missed.

I am saddened by this loss. I can think of no harder life than that of a comedian. It will be a long time before another of his ilk will surface.

What?? Bit of a shock I have to say. As the great man once said: "Shazbot"!
Rest in peace brother, and thanks.

I'm very shocked by this, he put such warmth and authenticity into his work and made millions laugh and feel better about themselves, their lives, even for that two hours.
It's such a shame that there wasn't someone or something that could have done the same for him.
Depression and mental illness is such a crippling disease, and it's claimed another...so tragic, and so sad.
I hope he finally found the peace he couldn't find here...

Such a sad circumstance that led to his demise... I have some close knowledge of these circumstances and it is truly awful in so many ways. Prayers of support to his family. With great hope that his personal suffering is ended and his soul is at peace.

Breaking: turns out that he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, on top of the depression and financial troubles.
Man, I'm really bummed out right now. Hands down one of my top 3 favorite actors. And beyond that, he was just an all around great guy by everyone's account. He genuinely cared about making the world a better place, starting with the individual in front of him at the moment.
If anyone is interested, there is a petition over at Whitehouse.gov to have 08/11 declared National Laughter Day in honor of Mr. Williams. It doesn't cost the government anything to do so, I suppose, and it just seems like a great way to honor someone who touched so many lives throughout the world."Willpower and Dedication are good words," Roland remarked, "There's a bad one, though, that means the same thing. That one is Obsession." -Roland Deschain of Gilead
