Thinking back, there are TONS of characters he played.....

I wasn't a fan fan, but I really enjoyed him in the World According to Garp. He was perfectly cast in the movie.

He made me 'nervous' when I saw him do talk shows. I wanted to hear him talk about his upcoming roles or projects, but he would always drift into some kind of character/voices during the interview.

Years ago someone said that comedians use comedy to deflect the pain in their lives - I saw that in RW and wondered what kind of demons he fought during his life.

He was one of a kind.
