Robin Williams Has Died

Hi, everyone.

Do you feel a little shocked? Well, I do. And you will be, too.
Acclaimed actor and comedian Robin Williams has died today. He was 63 years old. He was known for his legendary career of stand-up comedy and quirky physical comedy. He later went to acting, guest starring in an episode of Happy Days as Mork, a strange alien from the planet Ork; He was sent to Earth to learn and record human life and activity. That would lead to him and co-star Pam Dawber starring in a spin-off entitled Mork & Mindy. That series would air from 1978 to 1982 and would become a huge hit, cementing Mr. Williams' career as the big thing in comedy.

He would later transition to acting starring in many iconic films such as Mrs' Doubtfire, Aladdin, Jack, Good Morning, Vietnam, One Hour Photo and many many others, winning an Academy Award from his role as Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting. He would later get back into television in 2013, starring in The Crazy Ones, a sitcom about an advertising company created and run by his character Simon Roberts and his daughter Sydney. The series lasted only one season. This series' axing is what shocked me about his death; the fact that it ended not to long ago, and that he passed away just months after it ended its' run.

Although it's currently unknown just how he died, the Marin County Coroner has released word that he died from committing suicide. Whatever happens in the coming days is clear, we lost an icon of comedy...too damn soon. He has inspired many people to get into comedy and will never be forgotten. 
Rest in Peace, Mr. Williams. You are gone, but you are not forgotten.
(1951-2014)
