Thanks Jeanette for mentioning this important point in this tragic event.

I wasn't a huge fan of Williams style of standup comedy he was a brilliant actor when matched with particular roles/parts. Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society and Good Morning Vietnam were some of his memorable performances.

wow really was shocked to hear this , rip Mr Williams, I cant think of a movie of his I didn't enjoy.

Tonight I'm rewatching (for the nth time) The World According to Garp. Williams' first foray onto the big screen. One of his very best roles too.

I absolutely love The World According to Garp. Probably my favourite of his.

I never thought they'd be able to turn the book into a movie.
The casting was perfection.

Pretty gutted about this, grew up listening to "A Night at the Met", and watching Good Morning Vietnam. So sad that depression can take a great and kind person far too soon.

But he's left behind some wonderful memories, and watching just about any of his shows or films will bring a smile to your face.

Here's just one good one, suitable from a golf-mad Scot: "How the Scots invented golf" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSXMS8ABAAU

Brilliant movie

Truly shocked at his passing. Beneath the laughter and jokes dwells a kind soul with a big heart. Our loss is heavens gain. RIP.

RIP Robin

A very sad loss

I am at a total loss as to how the universe would take a man so funny and make millions laugh and have such a big heart that he looked after his best friend and yet such a darkness inside of fears and doubt that ultimately took him from us all. Condolences to his wife and children...

NANU NANU OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN!!
