He was such a good comedic and dramatic actor. Since streaming hit its stride there have been so many good long form shows with great writing that he could have shined in. If he was still alive he probably would have had an amazing dramatic show written just for him.
He was one of the greats. Especially later in his career.

If he was still alive he wouldn't be acting, on streaming or otherwise. Sadly his condition was slowly deteriorating, he'd have been debilitated and trapped in his own body.
Well assuming he didn’t have a horrible disease which was activity destroying his body.
His stand up specials would've been fun
Robin Williams had perfect career timing and made more money than multiple generations of his family will be able to spend.
The rise of streaming also came with the death of comedies.
Personally, since he took his own life, I haven’t watched his movies. It just to depressive to know he was faking the happiness. It just seemed so authentic, his natural happiness. It’s a shame that he was suffering silently.
No it didn’t.

He took his own life because he had dewy body syndrome, which is untreatable, very horrific to experience and very fast. Depression didn't kill Williams, one of the very worse degenerative neuro diseases that exist did.
So hopefully you can now enjoy his movies again.
All acting is fake. A lot of actors probably suffer from depression/anxiety. RW probably still enjoyed making those movies tho, and now you get to enjoy them.
You obviously don’t get the point
If he was still alive, he likely would be in a care home and suffering greatly. He was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia, and his suicide was self euthanasia when the symptoms began to surface.
Wow. I'll admit I'm not really a movie person so I wasn't familiar with him and didn't really follow the news, but the impression I got from, like, everywhere, is that it was from depression. Like I swear there were posts everywhere like "you never know, even if they seem happy and smiling, it can happen to anyone" and just... etc. So that was all total misinformation?! Wow.
Indeed, that was what most of the things about it were saying, you had to dig a little to get to the real reason he died. However, once you do it's pretty clear and I imagine by now you've looked into it yourself. No doubt he had struggled with depression all his life, but I don't believe it killed him and neither does his family.
