1. Geez, I miss him.
One of the funniest, most brilliant actors to ever appear on screen. Can you imagine him in a Bush parody? Inspector Clouseu in the White House. :rofl:

2. Did you see the HBO movie about him?
Geoffrey Rush played him. It was very sad. He was not a very happy nor nice man in reality. It's hard to believe that someone who was as funny as he was could treat his loved ones so poorly.

3. No, and although I am not surprised to hear that about him..
it still disapoints me. I guess I had heard, or read something that said as much.

5. I read his biography, "Mr. Strangelove"
Off screen, he was such an awful person.

At first, that revelation made me dislike his acting; however, over time, it's made me come to appreciate it all the more. The only time he was ever really happy was when he was acting.
