    Robin Williams is dead at only age 63.

    Im in complete shock. Love his stand up and films. Apparently he had been battling depression and suicide hasn't been ruled out.

    I don't normally get that sad when someone famous dies (last one was probably James Gandolfini), but this sucks big time.
    Truly one of the all time greats of comedy.

    ****.

    Couldn't really believe it when I saw the top posts on Reddit. Made me all sad and stuff.

    Shocking news, very sad indeed. He was an early favourite of mine back during my childhood, making me laugh endlessly in many of his movies. However, his performance which had the greatest effect on me was that of his in 'Good Will Hunting'.

    Well now that is sad and shocking news. When I was a kid I'd have watched just about anything if he was in it. Hook, Jumanji and Toys were favourites of mine growing up. RIP.

    Besides his comedic performances, his dramatic roles were pretty impressive too especially in the underrated One Hour Photo and Insomnia

    This is truly sad, and not sure how else to describe it. One of the most likeable people Hollywood ever had. I remember seeing him fairly recently on a talk show.

    It doesn't seem believable, R.I.P.

    Very sad.

    Jakob the Liar is a film that stuck with me from the first time I saw it. Had a marvelous ability to switch from comedy to serious without any struggle whatsoever.

    There's been a few tears in our household tonight.

    We grew up on his movies as did our kids, his talent and charm will be truly missed.

    R.I.P. Robin Williams, thank you for sharing your life with us.

    such a massive, massive loss. His improv ability was off the charts and you only need to look at any talk show or interviews he did to see how genuine he was when it came to making people laugh. I watched his Inside The Actors Studio interview and was in tears laughing several times throughout it.

    This news really sucks! Robin was great, Oscar winning great!
    Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting, Good morning Vietnam, Hook and many more great films....
    All I can say is thank you Robin Williams, for making life better for film fans like myself and many others around the world with your performances. Rest in Peace!

    To be honest his interviews always made me feel slightly uncomfortable. Sure he was a funny bloke and extremely talented, but he just never seemed to be able to turn it off, to the point where i actually felt sorry for him.
