Very sad news. His publicist said he had been battling severe depression for a while. Cause of death was suicide by asphyxia.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Damn. What a sad loss. He was a comedic genius, but I always liked his more serious films a bit more. Why is it that we always seem to find out, eventually, that so many comedic geniuses are, in private, troubled souls? RIP RW.
Robin did many shows for our troops overseas. The measure of the man really showed when the show was over. He went to meet and see all those that were on duty and couldn't see the show..
Been trying to find the words, and failing. A sad, sad loss.
For all his TV & film work, he was best when performing live. Many years ago I watched his episode of "Inside The Actors Studio" (actually two episodes, he was so good that nothing was edited out & they ran it as a special); well worth searching out online but, be warned, you will laugh until you hurt!
One question James Lipton asks all his guests is "If Heaven exists what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?". Robin, there is definitely seating at the front.
Best to let him have the last word
