Very sad to hear about this.  That dude was pretty sick for a while and I'm sorry that it ended in this way. There was a lot of hate towards him from the popular media but I never had any problems with it.  Alladin wouldn't have been the same without him.  Heck, my earliest TV memories were of Mork & Mindy (and Greatest American Hero).

I heard about this from a technician I was assisting over the phone today. Crazy circumstances, my Facebook feed exploded when this was announced. The local radio station posted the video of the episode of Mork & Mindy where he was a Denver Broncos Cheerleader. I noticed the channel 9 news badge on his ascot in the video. Really hit close to home for a lot of people here in Colorado who watched that show. (The show was filmed in Boulder, CO. Which is about 30 minutes away from me.)

Sad! I wanted it to be a bad hoax.

Sucks. I wondered where he'd been the last few years. Apparently dealing with shit, and not well.

He was on TV the last couple years. Buffy was playing his daughter.
The Crazy Ones?

That was a good read. Makes me understand a little more about the world around me.

Just finished listening to his appearance on the WTF Podcast with Marc Maron from 2010, which was re-posted after his death. Very eye opening.

May he find the peace he so desperately needed. He starred in my favourite movie of all time and just enriched my life over so many many years. It's sad he was struggling so much behind closed doors, but I wish he didn't have to go. He'll be missed by many.
