Yesterday we lost one of the greatest actors, personalities and overall shinning stars, the irreplaceable, unforgettable Robin Williams. Me being so young, I've literally spent my entire life captivated by his art. From his whimsical ever-changing voice dynamics as our beloved Genie via Aladdin. Or his ability to immerse himself completely in a role, even wearing pantyhose to do so via Mrs.Doubtfire
His talent knew no bounds. Mr. Williams even had the range to make us love him when we weren't supposed to, taking a step to the dark side as the villainous and family obsessed Seymour Parrish via One Hour Photo. And those are just to name a few. Everything he was apart of sparkled and shined like the fairy dust he used to fly as Peter Pan in Hook. In my opinion though his most impactful film was Good Will Hunting in which he played a tender but no nonsense therapist, by the name of Sean Maguire. This role really made me in awe of him not only because of the fantastic acting but because of the "bench scene" in which Robin's character sort of takes Matt's down a notch. Essentially expressing man's everyday adversities blatantly stating that Matt or Will rather wouldn't ever understand what real struggle entails. That's powerful. And at the end of speech, daring him to step out of himself he says "Your Move Chief." Closing out one of the greatest scenes in movie history. With the lost of Robin Williams, comes the loss of a happiness and laughter that will be deeply missed worldwide.
