RIP Robin Williams

Hello people. Like you I have also been saddened by the suicide death of the legendary comedian/actor Robin Williams. He was a really funny man. I remember some of his movies like Mrs. Doubtfire. I also enjoyed Patch Addams. Could you believe parts of Patch Addams were filmed at the UNC campus in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, my college. It was a great movie.

I also remember watching the live action Popeye movie. You know the one from 1980. I remember my parents and brother saying "That's Robin Williams." I would say "No, that's Popeye." I was about seven at the time when I saw it. But, I always LOVED Popeye since I was a kid. Though he couldn't get me to eat spinach. I had a fear and sensitivity to it when I was a kid. It's part of being Asperger's. At the time I really just understood characters, not actors. That was just being a typical kid. All I knew it was a live action version of Popeye, so far as I knew it was Popeye. There was no concept of the actor when I was seven. I was two when the movie came out, I was seven when I saw it. However, I believe there was no better actor to play Popeye better than Robin Williams.

However, Robin William's role that stands out most to me when he used to play Mork from Ork on the sitcom Mork and Mindy. My mom and I would watch that show when I was four. Often watch it right after pre-school. I loved Mork and that show. Want until many years later I learned that was Robin Williams who played him. Had even less concept of actors at four. I think that was his role that stood out the most of all.

There there was no official diagnosis, some believe Robin Williams may have had Asperger's like me. He had a talent for comedy. Some say so do I. He did really well when got his script memorized, and some said the same about me. I am really sad that he's dead. Why did he have to take his own life! I feel he had so much to live for. Was the pressure if fame too much for him? He will be missed! REST IN PEACE MR. ROBIN WILLIAMS!! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and acquaintances.
