I was devastated to hear the news this morning of the apparent suicide of actor and comedian Robin Williams. Absolutely tragic.
There are so many actors who to my mind merely repeat the same role over and over. That could never be said of Williams who appeared as such a diverse range of characters from the manic DJ Adrian Cronauer in 'Good Morning Vietnam' to the sensitive and thoughtful John Keating in 'Dead Poets Society'. A remarkable talent indeed.
He left behind many great quotes but one of my favourites concerned the fact that in England the police do not carry guns. If you commit a crime, the police will say, "Stop or I'll say stop again!"
Priceless!
RIP Robin.
