Just seen Robin Williams has died... possible suicide being mentioned by USA officials.

Only 63.

Played some great comic parts... always seemed either a bit manic or intense when interviewed to me.

What a loss.

I can remember him as far back as playing Mork from Ork.

Nanu Nanu.

Hmmm, how ironic, or apt depending on your view.

How truly bizarre.

I was working last night, waiting for an editor to send some corrections. On telly I caught a clip of something with an actress that I hadn't heard of so I typed her name in Wikki. As I read her portfolio of work it set off an a long trail, her other films, leading to other programmes, leading to other actors, leading to other directors or film companies etc. I do that often when I'm bored. Anyway, the penultimate trail led to Good Will Hunting and after reading it for ten minutes I clicked on Robin Williams and read his history. I had to laugh to myself as Mork and Mindy was a big programme in the 70s, we loved it (and she drove a cool jeep). Apparently he won the audition by sitting on his head. Then my client emailed and I had to get back to work and I just left it on the Robin Williams page. Waddya know, he's dead this morning. Could it have been that I actually have the dark side of the force? And I accidentally choked him while I was thinking about him?

Is Zero around...?

I think it was today's "I" that described him as a "madcap" - what does that actually mean ? Doesn't sound good.
