I'm gonna have to agree with pat, props were invented for cutting and that's it.

But no matter the circumstance, I don't care how bad things are or what you are going through taking your own life is the most selfish thing someone can do. After a certain point in life you no longer live for yourself but for your wife and children and for that I am truly sorry for anyone's family that has to deal with that.

But Robin Williams was one of the all time greats, he was an awesome actor. I don't think there is a movie he made that you couldn't like and he possibly one of the last celebrities I would think would do something like this. He was involved in more charities than most people know exist not to mention everything he did for the troops, he was a vet generous man. But ironically enough a man who spent his life making people happy couldn't make himself happy any longer. It's a sad thing and it's unfortunately something that happens and sometimes it's someone you'd never think.

But, the genie is finally free.

It was the summer of 96 my high school friend said hey you wanna help me and my Dad out on a summer job I said sure. His Dad was a Key Grip and wanted help with lighting Camera tracks and equipment. Loaded a Rig and headed out to Mare Island old Naval station. There was a movie being shot called "What dreams may come". Got to the location met the security team the Vallejo Hells Angels. Got a tour of an old Aircraft carrier "Oriskany". I then saw a bunch of extras, m14 props that were heavy rubber but looked real laid camera track all night then once completed took a break sat on the tailgate of a truck. It was 01:00 or so and a voice came from behind me. I turn around and I find myself talking to a very down to earth Robin Williams. He was getting ready to do a scene and was waiting around and just talked to me like we were just old friends. It was about nothing in particular for maybe 5 minutes then he went and performed a Hell scene with Cuba Gooding Jr. I was so stoked to have just met Mork who Ioved watching as a kid. No big deal except to me it was so cool to know he didnt think his shit didn't stink and he talked to some High school kid helping out who was a nobody and didn't just walk bye with the dismissal of everyone. It was great to know he wasnt a stuck up dick like other celebrities.

Sorry for the long story but just wanted to say I truly believe the stories on TV about how kind he was to others and yeah he was different he would be goofy as hell to make others smile. One of the funniest stand up performances I saw on HBO like 15 years ago. Its great. He can go into funny man or drama and do both well. Gotta respect that.
RIP Robin

He was on a show called "Inside the Actors Studio" where he was basically interviewed on his entire life and he went on so many hilarious tangents.
Freakin gold I tell you....
You could hear a woman cackling the entire show and at the end, the host revealed that she had to be taken away in an ambulance because she was having trouble breathing.
