Terrible news..heard nothing on the eve news...great talent...never missed a Mork and Mindy...and his Oscar for outstanding performance in Good Will Hunting, the movie that also launched a great career for Matt Damon..
He was the star of a short lived tv comedy last season,The Crazy Ones, it was pretty bad and didn't last a full season..RIP Great Actor..

I love this scene from The Birdcage. It's not a great movie, but I remember that he played the (pardon the pun) straight man, while Nathan Lane played the neurotic, over-the-top comedic one. Except in this one moment where he cut loose and showed that nobody could over-the-top like Robin Williams.

ETA: good grief; I forgot the link:

His performance in Good Will Hunting is what really made that movie.

So sad when someone is so gifted in bringing feeling and happiness to others, yet struggles mightily to have those emotions themselves.
