That's terrible.
He was one of my favorite comediennes and actors.
The "Big Giant Head" must have called him back. :-(

Very sad news indeed. Not sure what was troubling him to the point, where, well, you know. I'm reminded of something that was shared me many years ago. You can survive without food for weeks, without water for days, without air for a few minutes, but not even a second without hope. Condolences to his family; can't even imagine what pain they are going through right now.

I enjoyed so much of his work, his character. This is so sad. What deep personal pain and yet he made everyone laugh. It reminds me of a song by Smokey Robinson where part of the lyric is:

Now there's some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
the tears of a clown
When there's no one around

I remember what Dick Cavett said about Groucho Marx, another great comedian who battled depression:

"He needed a Groucho Marx to cheer him up, and he was the only person who couldn't have one."

Thank you, Robin, for giving the rest of us a Robin Williams. And say hello to Groucho for us.

Bummer. It's hard to understand why successful people, who have achieved the fame and fortune they were seeking, are still so depressed they would take their own life.

It happens frequently though. I was just watching a documentary about Kurt Cobain, who took his own life as well.

We all get depressed but a couple of million dollars could cheer me right up. :hehe

I grew up with the animated movies he voice acted as. Often I see an actor died and it doesn't effect me too much since I had no idea who it was (not to say I don't care!), but this one I actually knew and had a fondness for, this makes me extra sad! :(

I'm aware he did a whole lot more adult than kid stuff but for the stuff I saw him in I loved it!

RIP!

Of all the Robin Movies I have seen, this one was the most hilarious to me. He was so good at playing stupid.
