Remembering Robin Williams

He was one of the greats. A fine actor and great comedian. What is even more tragic is that he committed suicide is truly ironic considering how talented he was in bringing laughter and joy to other people.

I can't understand why so many actors seem to struggle with depression and can't seem to find any other way out. This is the guy who I fondly remember as the Genie from Aladdin, the crossdressing Mrs. Doubtfire, the strange alien from Mork & Mindy, and Popeye; the very first movie that I remember seeing him in.

I've seen him in so many, many more yet those of the ones which stick in my head. The ones that make me smile. It's a terrible shame that it didn't seem to do the same to him.

I don't think there will be another like you Robin. R.I.P.

In closing, does anyone have a favorite movie or television role that you'd like to mention?
