I was definitely not expecting to wake up to the news that Robin Williams passed away. This was way too soon.
Growing up in the nineties, I remember him mostly for his roles in Aladdin, Hook, Jumanji and Mrs Doubtfire. But those were just small parts of a greater career which included adult dramatic roles as a therapist in Good Will Hunting and creepier roles such as Si the Photo Guy in One Hour Photo and a killer who faced off against Al Pacino in Insomnia. He could be funny, melancholy or creepy. A very versatile actor.
I cannot imagine what it is like to suffer genuine depression like Robin Williams did. Perhaps this will force people to look more closely at this condition. People shouldn't die like this.
He may be gone, but he has left behind a generation of people who enjoyed watching his performances and will remember him.
