I didn't want to put this in the mad-house, as it is sad, rather than mad. . . .

One of the funniest people I have ever seen, I hope the news reports of suicide are not true . . . . . . . . .

A really funny gent !

Nahno, Nahno !

Robin displayed all the characteristics of a manic depressive, I had a friend who was also wildly up and down, you only really see the up as its their public face, close the doors and the dark side appears, it's as if they have exhausted their fun side.
If you were that funny, lively and energetic imagine the other side of the pendulum swing.

Gutted to hear this news this morning.

being an 80s baby I was lucky to have many iconic actors, singers and sportsman in my childhood.

Robin was up there with the best of them.

Thanks for crazy faces and noises.

Yep - very sad - one of my all-time favourite entertainers - strangely enough was discussing Mork & Mindy just the other day with my wife and we were wandering where to get copies.

An extremely underrated film but I really enjoyed it. Looking on IMDB I was only 8 when it came out, so I reckon maybe late teens when I saw it on video?

He will always be the genie in Aladdin for me. No-one else could have made it so entertaining.

Really sad to hear this today.

Someone with the power to make you cry with sadness and laughter is a rare being.

I was surprised to read he was only 63 though, for some reason I thought he was older.
