I am not normally one to get overly distressed at the passing of a celebrity and yet I sit here trying to think of how to put the heartbreak I feel over the passing of one of the greatest actors of my time on this little blue rock. As a self proclaimed movie nut, the list of his movies that I like is nearly endless, and those I love, numerous. Amongst some of my favorite movies of all time are "What Dreams May Come", "Good Morning, Vietnam", "Patch Adams", and "The World According to Garp". A truly talented entertainer and a man of great character known not only for his acting and comedy but for the work that he had done in traveling to entertain troops overseas. May you rest in peace O'Captain my Captain. The world will never see another like you.
Genie... you are free.
