Morning Obituaries: Robin Williams

This morning, we hold a moment of silence for one of the most brilliant comedic minds to ever appear on screen…the great Robin Williams.

Robin was found dead yesterday after an apparent suicide. Despite the fact that Robin had been a part of some of the real classics of the comedy genre including Good Morning, Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtfire, and others, the Academy Award winning actor had battled drug addiction and depression for the majority of his life.

Not only was Robin Williams an accomplished live-action performer, but has also voiced legendary animated characters, too. Aladdin and Robots  immediately come to mind.

Personally, this is a rather deep loss. Growing up, me and my younger brother watched a lot of movies together, so when I went downstairs and asked him, ”Did you hear?”, he knew EXACTLY what I was talking about and we didn’t even have to mention a name…we knew we lost a friend.
