RIP Robin Williams (1 Viewer)

[KarmaPolice]

His stand up but about golf is one thing that always sticks out to me. So funny.

Good Morning Vietnam, Mrs Doubtfire, Good Will Hunting, just so much greatness.

Sad that people feel that they need to end it all when they have touched so many peoples lives in a positive way.

The end of that special where he goes off about how we look going down on the ladies had me crying.

I would put Ben Aflac the duck up there with him. Very versatile. Can also turn a room upside down in no time.

Kidding, of course.

Williams was my favorite. Got to see him at the Hermosa Beach Comedy and Magic Club on a random Sunday night, as a surprise guest. It was the hardest I ever laughed.

If you haven't seen it, George Karlin has a good golf bit, too.

So does Dorf.

Just looked up people who attended Juilliard school that we might know working today:

- Morena Baccarin (2000)

- Christine Baranski (1974)

- Jessica Chastain (2003)

- Marcia Cross (1984)

- Kelsey Grammer (1975)

- Val Kilmer (1981)

- Kevin Kline (1972)

- Eriq La Salle (1982)

- Laura Linney (1990)

- James Marsters (1984)

- Mandy Patinkin (1974)

- Christopher Reeve (1975)

- Ving Rhames (1983)

- Kevin Spacey (1981)

Those are the names I could make out from just reading them. May very well be more from the Wiki list though.

Robin paid Jessica Chastain's tuition.

I don't think Christopher Reeve does do much work anymore.

Sad that people feel that they need to end it all when they have touched so many peoples lives in a positive way.

It takes a lot of work to keep someone with depression issues continuously focused on the positive. All it takes is one slip-up or a missed cue that this time it's different.

It sounds like he had a big support network, but I imagine there were very few that could actually get in his head and help him on a regular basis.

Making other's happy doesn't take away your own hurt.

His wife just put out a statement that he was battling early stages of Parkinson's.

Yep. I've dealt with depression. One time a bad fantasy draft sent me into a funk.

I touched on this a littler earlier in but I wondered if there was some health issues we hadn't heard about yet. :(

I had a friend at work about 7 years ago find out he had cancer... so he went out in his back yard and put a bullet in his head.

When I first heard Robin committed suicide I immediately thought of my friend and wondered if Robin had just learned he had something.

Once I heard that it all made sense. It's perfectly understandable not to want to go down that road, especially with a mind like his.

It has been a year. Doesn't seem like it.

Robin Williams’s Underrated Roles Help Illustrate His Major Talents

[TheAristocrat]

Man, I miss Robin. Really, really sad end for an incredibly talented guy. RIP, you were one of the good eggs.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

New HBO doc is pretty good.  Pretty good balance of tribute and pointing out the flaws.  Kind of curious that neither his 2nd nor 3rd wives appeared (I don't think).  Hard to believe that it was already 4 years ago.

Do wish it was longer, though maybe I was spoiled by the Garry Shandling one that I just finally finished over the weekend.

Uncanny impression

Almost jaw dropping really.

Impersonating Robin Williams is like doing 15 different impressions.  Amazing. 

 

[Jayrok]

Uncanny impression

Almost jaw dropping really. 

That is great.  Even looks Robin.  Movie in the making?

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Whoa.

 

[wikkidpissah]

Everything but the wince

 

[falguy]

That is great.  Even looks Robin.  Movie in the making?

Saw this and thought there WAS a movie forthcoming.  Hopefully something comes of it.  That was an unreal impression. 

 

[squistion]

That is great.  Even looks Robin.  Movie in the making?

Not yet. This was essentially a screen test hoping to land the lead in a Williams biopic. 

 

[Willie Neslon]

It's called a sizzle reel.

 

[SteevieG]

That was unreal.  Close your eyes and you'd be hard pressed to know it wasn't him.

 

[Gally]

It made me wonder if the dubbed in his real voice it was so good.
