Comedian Robin Williams dead at 63
This is a HUGE loss of a comedian. He was groundbreaking in many of his roles, and proved he was not only immensely funny, but also an incredibly talented actor.

Oscar winner and comedian Robin Williams died this morning at 63. While his publicist wouldn’t confirm that his death was a suicide, a rep did issue this statement. “Robin Williams passed away this morning. He has been battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.”
Williams, who won an Oscar for his supporting role in Good Will Hunting, will reprise his role as Theodore Roosevelt in the third installment of Night at the Museum this December. He had recently signed on to reprise his beloved role as Mrs. Doubtfire in a sequel to be directed by Chris Columbus, and was last seen opposite Annette Bening in the indie film The Face of Love. His sitcom The Crazy Ones premiered on CBS last fall, but was not picked up for a second season.
According to a press release issued by the Marin County Coronor’s office, the Sheriff’s office suspects the death to be “suicide due to asphyxia.” The 9-1-1 phone call came in just before noon today.
Update: Fox, which will release the third Night at the Museum film, has issued the following statement: “There really are no words to describe the loss of Robin Williams. He was immensely talented, a cherished member of our community, and part of the Fox family. Our hearts go out to his family, friends and fans. He will be deeply missed.”Our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, because our destiny lies above us. - Matthew Mcconaughey - Interstellar

Shocking news and very sad. I enjoyed many of his movies. As far as his movies are concerned, I prefered his dramatic work to his comedies.

Absolutely devistating.
What Dreams May Come is one of my most favorite of his dramatic roles.
Good Will Hunting was quite good, but there was far more appeal to WDMC (and less Afflecks).
His comedies were decent. Aladdin being the most memorable.
But I think his work on his dramatic sides were stellar.
His dark side in Nolan's 'Insomnia' is truly remarkable. And, disturbing. More disturbing than One Hour Photo.

I grew up on Mork and Mindy.
One of the first shows I watched on American TV after we came to the U.S.A. in August 1977.
I learn English while watching it!

The last time a comedian's passing affected me this deeply was when John Ritter passed away.
