Been my favorite actor (foremost) and comedian. Know literally all his movies - even a few way too good. The world lost one of the greatest artist of its time.
I urge you to watch his 2h Inside the actors studio special, served for me as a source for laughter and insight for years.
RIP Robin McLaurin Williams
O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

This saddens me greatly. He was my favorite comedian. I pray he finds the peace he was so desperate for. Thank you Mr. Williams for all the laughs and smiles you gave the world and my family. Rest In Peace.

RIP Robin Williams, I'm very sad to hear of your passing.
A side note for individuals with family members or friends who have had struggles with suicide, from Dr. Cialdani's book Influence, when there is a high profile suicide, there are many more suicides than normal for the following weeks IIRC, I think it's at least a multiple of 3, it could be 7.
If you have that family member or friend, check up on them.

That's so terribly sad.
His movies were apart of my childhood growing up. I can still remember watching 'Jumanji' and 'Good Morning Vietnam' as a kid.
Rest in peace Robin Williams, you will be missed.

Hard to believe that someone with his talent and success would do that.
Goodbye Mr. Williams, you were one of my favorites.
