As you probably know by now, Robin Williams has been found dead in his house by an apparent suicide. This post will be to remember his life.
It is rare that we get an actor like Williams. Someone who is so good at making us laugh, but can also take on serious roles.
Over the course of his life, he had delivered many laughs. One of the most well-known of his comedic movies was Miss Doubtfire, in which he plays a divorced father who dresses as a nanny to see his children. In it, Williams played a character who could have come across as creepy and makes him seem sympathetic and likable. Another notable comedic character was the genie in the animated Disney film Aladdin. He was only a secondary character, but he was still the best part of the entire movie.
However, he was also known for serious roles. In Dead Poets Society, he plays an English teacher who teaches his students to think for themselves, a role which he plays very well. Another serious role he did was in the movie Good Will Hunting, which won him an Oscar.
He was also very charitable. He had offered his time, money, and endorsement to over fifty charities, including appearing in commercialism for St Jude's Children's Research Hospital. (source: cnn.com)
In conclusion, Robin Williams was a great actor and a great man and will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace.
Also, a YouTube critic named Jeremy Jahns made a video criticism of Aladdin, and claimed that all the money he makes from it will go to a charity to help stop depression, so that it doesn't take more people like Williams. So, I left the video below if you're interested in it.
RIP Robin Williams 1951-2014
