One of the most recognized actors and comedians in the world has passed.

This is miserable news.

Wow... sad and unexpected. He made some bad movies but he was clearly a comedy genius in stand-up.

I know...I have his albums in my iTunes library.  I think the time has arrived to put them on my iPhone and play them in his memory.

Like Rev said: Wow. Just freaking wow.

I guess it is too much to hope it wasn't a suicide.

My kid just posted that on Facebook. I thought it was crap and looked it up because Robin Williams and suicide didn't seem to fit together. I'm really bummed out about this.

A good bad movie is like popcorn for the soul!

Apparently he had been battling depression for years.
It's a devastating mental illness that is almost impossible to beat without meds,
and sometimes even with them.
RIP, Robin, and thanks for the many, many laughs.

Depression is a b***h and it's a lifelong struggle.

Generally those cracking wise the loudest are crying the most inside.

This certainly sucks.  Robin Williams was one of the funniest people on the planet.  

I watched so many of his movies growing up, and his stand up, and TV appearances... I can't believe he's gone.  

And I haven't even gotten over Harold Raimis dying yet.

Seems like a lot of entertainers/comedians deal with hard-core depression. It's so sad that they seem to feel there's no other solution than suicide.
This interview he gave to Marc Maron, a few years ago, is definitely worth a listen. It's pretty insightful. RIP

Something about looking over the cracks of the abyss gives some people deep insight into humor.  It's a terrible irony.

Ugh, I grew up loving Popeye and I've enjoyed many of his other movies (I think Patch Adams kinda stinks but he's not bad in it at all).  Watched The Fisher King a little while ago and I was pretty weepy through much of it.  Such a sad way to lose the man.
