Napo I got that sense, too.

His latest show "The Crazy Ones," I actually found funny. I will certainly miss him.

There was a Mrs. Doubtfire sequel in the works...

I remember being shocked when Richard Jeni blew his brains out. Another guy with a history of depression.

It's sad that there's this taboo against mental illness. Even if they seek help, they may still be looked down on or mistreated. That just makes suicide all the more appealing.

Robin Williams was a comedy legend and spread laughter around the world. He gave so much yet forgot to save some laughter for himself.

He was a big player in some of the movies that I consider to define my childhood:

Aladdin
Hook
Mrs. Doubtfire
Jumanji
Fern Gully (Heart Batty!)
Dead Poets Society
Good Will Hunting

Yes, he was Batty in Fern Gully. The fairy leader sounded like the Sultan, and Crysta sounded like Jasmine. The Nostalgia Critic made a joke about the leader forgetting which movie he was in.

Not my childhood, but I loved him in all of those, not to mention Mork.

Also not my childhood, but "Hook" is one of the greatest re-imagining films ever.
