Really sad :-(

Success, wealth, material possessions, status etc etc it all means absolute **** if at the end you're not happy.

I was in a deep slumber with the telly on. Obviously this was on the news, but my mind was processing as a dream. Only just woken up and realised the sad news for real. Shocked.

One of kind. He cracked me up when he used to go on one of his trademark 200mph comedic monologues.

I was hoping this was an internet hoax, but unfortunately not. A proper comedy genius, and one of a few Americans that are actually funny.

Very sad, but I never really "got" him

And the wall to wall news coverage is ridiculous

An effortlessly funny guy, with the ability to be totally convincing as a serious actor.
Rare talent and a sad loss.

Just a brilliant actor and comedian, a real tragedy that he was such a troubled guy off camera

Like so many other celebs he's managed to deal with his 'problems' now, with some special gear.




He was a good actor

Sad news. Fond childhood memories laughing at Mork and Mindy through to great films such as Good Morning Vietnam and Mrs Doubtfire and others. He was simply brilliant as an actor and comedian.

Hodgy the coverage is because he was that good and that liked by so many whether you got him or not.

He was quite an enigmatic guy. I've been watching his stuff since the Mork and Mindy days. He always had an air of anarchy about him, sometimes he'd be hyper and then mellow and subdued. A troubled mind.
Re the wall to wall coverage, it's par for the course nowadays. The systematic drama of headlines and grieving.
All said he was a funny guy who was very talented and entertained me over many years. Rip.

yeah, sure very talented - and made some great movies, Loved Mrs Doubtfire

and any suicide is a tragedy for all concerned

I just don't find that hyper then subdued - "Zany" type personality that attractive - partly because of the inevitable "dark side" that comes with it

I never really 'got' his comedy, either, but thought him excellent in Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets' Society and particularly in One Hour Photo. A talent lost.

Weird that, seen alot of young actors take their own life but not many do as they get older, any reason why?

His publicist said he had been "battling severe depression".

He was bipolar.

maybe to be that talented and successful (in any walk of life) you have to be a slightly "flawed" person
