Robin Williams R.I.P.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Blimey....

What a loss.

He'll be missed.

[FierceKitty]

I think I'll go and watch Popeye again this afternoon.

[Nosher]

one of the few Americans whose humour I could 'get'.

Mrs Doubtfire carried me through some very messy personal times. And GMV was a classic, not to mention some of his more sinister roles such as One Hour Photo.

Proper Legend

[Techno]

A great shame.

[Steve J]

Daughter will be very upset at this sad news. An American comedian whose humour I enjoyed.

[Hertsblue]

The archetypal sad clown. You don't realise other people's problems until something like this happens. 

[Leman]

.... and all too frequently it would seem.

[Glorfindel]

Very sad news...

Given the circumstances, I very much hope that the opportunities offered in his film "What Dreams May Come"
do come true.

A great loss.

[cameronian]

Agreed, there really was something special about the man, his role as the bolshy DJ in GMV was just fantastic; poor Robin, peace at last.

[Chad]

I always remember him in Mork and Mindy, which got him noticed. I believe Disney redesigned
the genie in Aladdin to accommodate his humour.

Sad loss

[Poggle]

Sad indeed. A comic genius, loved around the world, and apparently a nice fella in private too. 

[Orcs]

And a wargamer too I believe.

[Ace of Spades]

A wargamer indeed from what I've read; WH 40K, Eldar apparently (should have played Orks though I'd say).
