RIP Robin Williams

Not gonna lie, guys.

This one hurts. A lot.

Robin Williams has died at 63 from an apparent suicide, and all I want to do right now is lock myself in a room with all his movies and pretend like he's still making them. The man was truly operating on a higher brain wave than the rest of us when it came to his rapid-fire stream-of-consciousness comedy, but he also had the range and discipline to imbue the quietest of roles with his unmistakable human warmth.

It feels appropriate to link back to a top ten list I made a few years back of Williams' best performances. I want to remember every detail of them more than ever today. He is already dearly missed.

Sunday Top Ten: Robin Williams performances

This Thursday, Robin Williams celebrates the his 60th birthday. I had always admired the actor in my formative years, only to become a little less impressed with his output over the last decade or so. Still, in honour of his sixth decennial – a noteworthy milestone indeed – I think an installment of my Sunday Top Ten just for him is in order.
