Utterly Utterly sad to hear of his passing.

I don't think there's a movie of his that I didn't like but my favourites would probably be Patch Adams and Dead Poets Society.

I really enjoyed his Live stand up special he did in New York on HBO in about 2002. I have it on DVD and I still laugh at it today.

Hook would have to be my favourite movie with him in it.

First movie I ever saw was Popeye at Elizabeth City Cinemas back in '78/79.

Haven't seen it since then but reakon I might revisit it tonight.

Then came Mork & Mindy and every kid loved him as Mork. Had heaps of Mork toys and t-shirts and stuff.

Everyone loved him for his comedy genius but he could be chilling as well, as he was in Insomnia and One Hour Photo.

Then again, he had some darkness to draw upon. Battled a-lot of demons over the years.

Buckle-up after-life. Coz Williams and Belushi are getting the band back together again.

And here's the infamous interview with Jana Wendt...

Enjoyed his performances in plenty of stuff, probably the Fisher King the most. A great loss. Always struck me as one of those "fine line between Genius and Insanity" types.

It was his manicness that proved to both drive his talent and bring him down.
The drugs wouldn't have helped that balance.

He is one of the people who you take his brilliance for granted and will appreciate it so much more now that he is gone.

The first film I ever saw him in was Jumanji when I was a young kid.

Have enjoyed most of his movies and stand up performances- jumanji will remain my favourite.

The Fisher King was my favourite RW movie but Mork will forever be in my heart. As a kid I would've been about 9 when Mork hit our screens and his portrayal of Mork was just brilliant. A mere glimpse into the future of what were able to see from RW. Legend.

I'm actually quite shattered he's gone!

Over the past 6 or so months I've been youtubing great comics such as Billy Connolly and RW just to name two. Friggen hell life sucks.

I usually do the old awww such and such celebrity passed away. But, with Robin Williams I am really saddened by this. I grew up watching his movies, and in the past few years I have watched Mork and Mindy also. His versatility in roles was amazing..You can tell that by my two personal favourites of his in One Hour Photo and Dead Poets Society.

RIP Robin Williams.

Seize the day. Because, believe it not, each and everyone of us in this room is one day going to stop breathing, turn cold and die
. Robin Williams as John Keating in Dead Poets Society.

I remember an interview with Anne Wills to promote Good Morning Vietnam that was very funny and he commented how much he enjoy talking to her after a whole day of the same kind of questions.
