Yesterday, it was reported that Robin Williams had passed away. For someone who has touched so many lives in so many ways, and brought so much laughter and joy to this world, this is a tremendous loss. I won't comment or speculate on the details or circumstances of his death. Instead, I will be focusing on what the man gave us during such an incredible career. For those who may not know, he guest starred on a show called Happy Days, in which he played an eccentric character named Mork, who would get his own show called Mork and Mindy. He would then go on to play interesting and unique characters throughout his film career which includes the Genie from Disney's Aladdin, Mrs. Doubtfire, Peter Pan in Hook, and Armand Goldman from The Birdcage. But some of his best roles came in some of his more dramatic moments which included Dead Poets Society, Hamlet, Good Will Hunting, and What Dreams May Come. As a stand-up comedian, he was almost unrivaled. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, as he leaves behind a third wife and three children.
