I still can't believe it. He was one of my favourite actors. Truly sad.

A sad loss. One of my favourites, too.

Depression is a hard thing to shake. I reckon 99% of the best comedians of the world have it , to some extent. A terrible thing, the black dog.

This is so very sad He was obviously struggling behind closed doors, a very hard thing to battle, especially in the public eye. A great man has truly been lost.

Yeah that was a shock. So sudden. He had everything going for himself. Fame, fortune and talent. Very sad indeed.

Absolutely gutted can't even imagine how his family must feel.

Did anyone else watch (the ratings were low so it got cancelled) his latest venture into TV, The Crazy Ones? Had me rolling around, he was just as brilliant in it as he was in everything else he did.

May your energy and matter be returned to the Universe to inspire us all

It's not often that one person's passing touches so many people around the world. I guess that's a measure of the man he was. He was a uniquely funny comedian (always made me guffaw) and a great actor. Moreover, by all accounts, he was a good man with a gentle soul. Shocked & saddened.

Couldn't say it more eloquently Marcus .. confirms for me once again that the genius that people of his his ilk posses comes at a price

Totally gutted.
Depression is without prejudice. It can consume anyone.
