Whatever's gone wrong it's not my fault.

That's so sad one of the funniest men to live.

The world is a sadder place with his passing.

Genuinely bummed by this news.

A true comic genius of his generation and in my opinion one of the best improv comics of all time.   Unfortunately like so many 'legendary' status comedians/actors he suffered terrible mental turmoil over many years and it's so sad to hear he has finally lost this battle with his inner demons.  

RIP Robin and thanks for the vast library of entertainment you have given us.

Well said.

Liberator

Not only a comedy genius, but a great serious actor as well.

Think I may have to dig out "Awakenings" and "The Fisher King" amongst others for watching and remembering.

Extremely well loved by his comedy peers, who always tell fond stories of his antics and human weaknesses.

RIP

An immense talent, how sad :(

Gorion

Bicentennial Man is my favorite of his.

What a shame, such a good actor.

That should be a fascinating bit of TV.

Coming very late to this thread- but I did meet RW in La Jolla in San Diego.  He was helping out at a charity that paired an able-bodied athlete with a disabled athlete to run and cycle a route around Torrey Pines.  This was in a Starbucks and he just popped in and very quietly ordered a coffee.  I did rather gush over how much I enjoyed his performance in The Fisher King and how good he'd been with Pacino in the movie Insomnia (this was in 2002).

He was utterly delightful and very easy to talk to.  (Cool story bro' etc.)
