Robin Williams?

[vols 30]

Hearing he passed away? Any truth to this ?

It just broke. He committed suicide. To say this is tragic is an understatement. One of my favorite actors.

RIP

I watched Jumanji about a thousand times growing up.

One of the all time best. Aladdin was my favorite movie growing up. The Genie was badazz

I watched Jumanji about a thousand times growing up.

It's an older movie, but "World According to Garp" is my favorite.

Sad. He had some demons. I actually liked his dramatic roles much more than his comedy (aside from Mork and Mindy, which I thought was the funniest ish ever at age 7).

I thought he was fantastic in Insomnia.

Robin Williams was gifted. He could take on any role: Drama (Awakenings), Thriller (One Hour Photo), or Comedy (Mrs. Doubtfire). One of the all time greats

Sad. He had some demons.

I heard not too long ago that the only reason why he was really working was to pay alimony payments. I guess, in a way, those are demons that you will never shake off with this soul-killing court system we have here.

Why Robin Williams Returned to TV: He Needed the Money!

After two divorces, the actor, 62, says he doesn't have as much cash as he used to."The idea of having a steady job is appealing," he tells Parade in a new interview. "I have two [other] choices: go on the road doing stand-up, or do small, independent movies working almost for scale [minimum union pay]. The movies are good, but a lot of times they don't even have distribution."

Williams continues, "There are bills to pay. My life has downsized, in a good way. I'm selling the ranch up in Napa [Calif.] I just can't afford it anymore."

He once quipped, "Ah yes, divorce, from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man's genitals through his wallet."

He now tells Parade he hasn't lost everything from his splits (his marriage to Valerie Velardi ended in 1988; his 2008 divorce from Marsha Garces reportedly set him back more than $30 million). But he says he's definitely lost enough.

This one stings. He's been one of my favorite actors since I was a kid.
I just listened to his interview with Marc Maron last week, and they actually talk about depression and the idea of suicide. He joked through it, but it was still uncomfortable to hear.
