I just found out this morning.  Really sad.  I knew about the addiction problems-he was open about sharing the struggle-but I didn't know about the depression.

So talented!

Yes I saw this yesterday and I have to say, I am heartbroken, and unfortunately not surprised.

I couldn't believe it when I heard.  He was one of the only comedians that could make me  laugh until I cried.  I hope he finds peace.

A little late to discussion. But, I loved him in comedy & drama.
