This is sad news for sure

I'm pretty sure I've watched every movie he was in. I will do a bit of research and watch whatever I may have missed. He was one hell of an actor.

My favorite is the Birdcage. Was watching clips of the funniest scenes on Youtube last night.

What a shame... such talent :(

Sad news indeed.

Patch Adams, Good Morning Vietnam and Mrs. Doubtfire are among my faves.

Here is my post from facebook....getting Likes already....

On average twenty two United States Military Veterans commit suicide every single day of the year. Desperation, no money, no help, they take their own lives after having served America. Yet none of their names ever appears, let alone dominates, the news. Guess you have to be a manic depressive millionaire comedian to be a hero in liberal minds.

Yup, for a while now, he's been distraught over his latest divorce costs. Money troubles it would seem.

Sad, really sad. He made us laugh, repeatedly for decades.

I don't know about the money troubles...seems the more the media talks his money troubles were troubles, but not as of late. This guy has productions coming out later this year he didn't even get paid for yet. Was watching a psych doc last nite who explained that depressed people(he used money problems), see their finances as scattered, a mess, un-fixable....when in fact all they need is a CPA to put everything in a neat package they could understand. He had a patient who was suicidal over money, turned out she was worth millions when she thought she was broke.

I have eight sisters......one of them is "always broke". Broke to her is she didn't put 3/4 of her take home pay in savings for a month. She asked me for a $7000 loan for a car cause she didn't want to lose interest on the money if she took it out of the bank. Ya know, cause the bank pays me interest on money I take out.:rolleyes: Money makes people do crazy things, when in fact it is noting more than paper you trade for something else.

His addiction troubles far outweighed any money troubles. Very sad end indeed.

Right. He could have shot himself or jumped in front of a train for the matter. It doesn't change the demons that drove him. Again, very sad.

Exactly Sir! No one cares about the Men and Women who devoted their lives to defending Freedom and our way of live. The men and women who suffer everyday with disabilities, injuries and loss of life. What happened to the VA story?

Yet the world stops for an Actor!!!! Who in all respects was on top of the world looking down at us mere mortals. Certainly he was a Millionaire and Famous. Poor guy had it so tough. Really? Sorry but I have no sympathy for this. Sure he was a good comedian and I enjoyed watching his Movies/Shows. But I sure as hell am not going to weep a single tear for someone who has it all and is still not enough for them.

Sorry if I offend any of you. Not my intention. He did take his own life. So exactly why should we feel sorry for him? He took the cowards path, the selfish path. Obviously could care less about anyone else but himself.

Rant over.......
