I was just thinking of Robin the other day and how I hadn't seen him in a role like he played in Good Will Hunting or The Dead Poets Society in awhile. That strong male mentor role. Knowing that he'd gone off to rehab in recent years I thought it would be nice to see him in such a strong role again.
Such a creative mind. Its tough to take.

Post by: RadSav on August 11, 2014, 07:47:18 PM
What was the thriller with Robert Dinero he did?
I know he did Awakenings with De Niro. Another one of my favorite Williams movies. Though I didn't consider that a thriller. Also The Big Wedding with De Niro. Insomnia was a thriller, but that was Al Pacino (I always get the two confused).
I'll have to do a Wiki search and see if I missed a movie!

Some people have such extreme political tunnel Vision that everything, absolutely everything can and should be blamed on the opposite political viewpoint. The comment makes no sense in a discussion of Robin Williams' death whatsoever, but I'm waiting for the feeble attempt at an explanation.I'm waiting for the liberal spin.......What do you mean by this?

Depression does not preclude one from being happy it simply haunts you .... I am happy my life is blessed and sometimes I wish I didn't exist because it seems so pointless and futile.

In my opinion when Williams stepped out of his usual roles is when he did his best work. Some of those movies weren't great movies, but Williams himself was stellar and made them worth watching. Movies like One Hour Photo and his Emmy winning performance as Merritt Rook on SVU as examples of just how versatile and commanding he was as an actor. As a "bad guy" he was disturbingly fabulous! I will miss those weeks and months of anticipation waiting for the release of his next movie. His presence will be missed around this household for sure!
Our prayers go out to his family. I'm sure their devastation is extensive. What a horrible loss :'(
Note: For those who never saw him in SVU I strongly suggest watching it. It ran in 2008 under the episode name "Authority". One of the most outstanding performances you will ever see from an actor - TV or Movie!

It's hard to understand how someone can have the world by the tail and be so unhappy.
Because Robin William choose not to have God in his life, He choose to be Selfish and not be thoughtful of his wife and his family. If he knew God, He wouldn't do it. Demon working so Hard thur people heart to get destroy and loves loves to see people Unhappy, divorce, hate eachother, greed about money, sex before married, Affair, murder, steal, watching bad movies, many list.... People start to forget about God everyday. Bible is everything telling truth. I pray God to show all people who doesn't know him that wouldn't do it.
Any mistakes you made, God will forgive you only IF you asked him and Lord will fill your heart. I admit myself I am not perfect and I want to a better person.
Pray on way for Robin's wife to be with lord.

Many of the great comedians and many great artist in general struggle with depression. It is sad to think so many great minds are hampered with it. Makes me wonder if that isn't why they were so great in the first place.

I think John Wayne said it best, when asked why he was such a successful actor: "Because the men I portrayed were the men I wish I was.". Coming down from a great role, and back to reality has to be wearing on a person. It's not all glamor...

I remember Heath Ledger talking about how hard it was to come down off the ledge after playing the Joker. Said he had gotten so far into character it was like he had touched evil and couldn't seem to wash it off. In the same interview he said he was having regular nightmares and wasn't getting much sleep. I often wonder if the drug mix-up that led to his death wasn't in some way related to his inability to fully return to himself after that role.

If you think about it, Jesus kinda committed suicide too. Go sell your snake oil fairy tale somewhere else.

Authorities detailed Robin Williams’ final moments Tuesday, saying the actor and comedian hanged himself with a belt in his San Francisco Bay Area home.
Marin County Sheriff’s Lt. Keith Boyd said Williams was last seen alive by his wife Sunday night when she went to bed. She woke up the next morning and left, thinking he was still asleep.
Shortly after that, Williams’ personal assistant came to the Tiburon home and became concerned when Williams failed to respond to knocks at a door. The assistant found the 63-year-old actor dead in a bedroom and called police.

So So Sad! Started out on Happy Days, as the Fonz's imaginary friend, "Mork." Then "Mork from Ork," "Mork and Mindy" and so so many more. One of my all time favorite actors and one of the best of all times!
When cable tv was making the scene, Robin had a couple of specials on HBO way before Happy Days and Mork and Mindy. very early 80's.
