I did not like some of the roles he played. I do believed Good Morning Vietnam showcased him as a great actor. I hope he has found peace.

I saw a great mind beyond comedy. I saw a great heart and a kind spirit. I am very sad that he couldn't find any peace in this lost and dying world.

I've yet to encounter anyone without spiritual problems with their Moons in spiritual Pisces. In a country that's spiritually bankrupt, it can be real tough for this crowd!

Interestingly, he committed suicide when the Moon went into Pisces!

God bless Robin Williams. He brought so much joy to the world. He was one of the good guys who struggled with addiction and depression.

It always interests me how people say things like this...

Robin Williams was a mere mortal, no more different than the rest of us. Although he was famous and wealthy, he was never exempt from the maladies of this human life and existence we all experience. Nope...he was in no way exempt....

Suicide is a manifestation of hopelessness, of despair...of the willingness to give up.

It's tragic to say the least, and I've known several people who have chose to take their lives. I took their passing very hard...

My prayers go out to his family, for they are the ones who are truly suffering in all of this. May the Lord comfort their grieving hearts .

Forget the comedy, forget the movies, this was a one in a billion talent who was probably a better person than he was an entertainer....and that's saying a lot.

I have just learned this very sad news from seeing this thread. I am truly shocked, and I didn't know about his problems with addiction and depression. I remember watching him on a talk show here in England many years ago. I had never seen such a performance! His brain seemed to be racing from subject to subject. Each uttering more funny than the one before. My sincere condolences to his family.

I also hopes he is able to RIP, however suicide is never the answer, and may be the worst choice anyone could ever make.
Is this a reference to "What Dreams May Come"?

I have never seen many of flicks but I certainly loved that one.
