"When I was 6 months old, I got a really bad case of pneumonia and almost died. My family and I were in the hospital around Christmas time, and Robin ****ing Williams walked into the room, talked with my parents and older brother, and gave me a toy. He did that for all of the children in the hospital, and that's how the man spent his Christmas — he literally hid from the press because he didn’t want it turning into a huge media event. What a stand-up lad."

"I met Robin Williams after a performance of Bengal Tiger in the Baghdad Zoo — he was very quiet, but happy to sign autographs and take pictures with us. He saw a young boy standing next to me and froze, then a smile appeared on his face — it was like a light switched on in him. Robin started doing voices and making jokes (he even did shtick from Aladdin) to get the boy to laugh, and it worked like a charm! The boy started roaring with laughter (as did the rest of us) — it was incredible to get to see both the performer and the person in that one encounter. It's a memory I'll always cherish."

That's truly lovely

Mrs Doubtfire will always be a classic of his. Dare I say One Hour Photo was one of his most best pieces too.

His Law and Order SVU was sooo good! He was evil in that episode. I wish they followed up with it but sadly he died

Orson doesn't agree.

But I do. Such a talent, A demise undeserved.

My favourite movie is good morning Vietnam or Jumanji.

But it was his stand up comedy that stood out for me.

……when you watch it, let us know what you think of it…the other one that he plays a dark character is Insomnia…if you haven’t seen that then I’d recommend adding that one to the list as well…..

…I’ve always preferred him is serious roles more…although I do like his lighter ones as well and he’s made some excellent classic family movies…but he really displays a darkness in some of his roles that I think he was quite underrated for…

…it’s like The Princess Bride, isn’t it…you switch the TV on, on a Sunday afternoon and say…oh no, not again…!!!!!…then spend the next two hours totally entranced in it…..
