    Some very sad news this morning about the death of Robin Williams. He was one of the comedy greats. I grew up watching Mork & Mindy. It was one of the first comedy shows I can remember watching and I loved it. Through the years I loved Dead Poets Society and Good Morning Vietnam. Being honest I can't say I really was into everything he did but he always delivered. I think to an extent I got used to him being around and the fact that I wasn't too enthusiastic about some thing was that I felt it wasn't the best he could do. When he was good he was incredibly funny. In hindsight The Crazy Ones was a great show. I enjoyed watching it. It had a few faults but Robin Williams played it perfectly. The show deserved to live on, much like Robin Williams himself. It's a sad thing to lose someone so talented. RIP

    This nightmarish scene from The Fisher King (1991) is tragically prophetic.



    Williams did not play enough villains but when he did he was a creepy master.



    His most disturbing role of all was in One Hour Photo.

    Talented Actor, Brilliant Comedian and he seemed like great company for anyone lucky enough to know him

    And he was always entertaining on Talk Shows. In an industry where the 'Few anecdotes, plug the film, come back next time you are promoting something' is the standard, he always gave more.

    So funny. And so sad.

    I have to say I wouldn't have been a great fan of the comic Robin Williams - I really liked him as an actor as in "Dead Poets Society"....

    I feel so sorry for him losing his battle with his battle against depression.

    The man who did this can only be admired and his loss will be immense to his loved ones.
