At age 63, Robin WIlliams, was found dead on August 11, 2014. Its such a great lost to the entertainment industry as this talented man had greatly shaped comedy. He was a man of wit and talent, he ad-libs whenever he could and it just adds more appeal to the storyline. He was an actor who was immensely loved by those who had seen his roles as a child in a man's body, a funny and heart wrenching man at the same time, and a comedian. He was all these and many more during my childhood and I do believe that he has grown in the heart of every child who was there to watch him grow to more adult roles.
His death did surely impact a lot of people. Everyone is mourning for his death - actors, audiences, friends, media, and including President Barack Obama who said these words:
Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien — but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most — from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets. The Obama family offers our condolences to Robin’s family, his friends, and everyone who found their voice and their verse thanks to Robin Williams.
From laughing at his wittiness to crying for his realistic portrayal of a crying man, I had been captured by this man. I only have two favorite actors, him and Michael J. Fox, and I'm just in my mid 20's, and all I can say is that Robin WIlliams will always be the Dr. Patch Adams in my life. Watching his movies will always be a healing and refreshing way to start again after a difficult situation. He will always be remembered as a character who sheds light in dark times, an actor who encouraged people that craziness isn't all that bad, an adult who proved that there is still a child within us, and a person who's not afraid to take on challenges.
To commemorate some if his works, here's a few of his memorable movies for me:
