Somehow I think I've always seen this part in his acting, even before I knew anything about him personally. It's something I can't describe, but just comes off through his eyes and expressions, I guess.

gently caress, I thought I was the only one that noticed that.

This is an incredibly common defense mechanism for depression - I'm basically the same way, though considerably less funny than Williams. It's part of the reason why suicides tend to be so shocking to friends and family members. The truly depressed are some of the greatest living actors out there, and they can convince you that everything's perfectly fine, or that they're just feeling "a bit tired," right up until the bullet exits the chamber.

In addition to the motormouth thing, wrt how funny he was - I've dealt with suicidal depression for a large part of my life, and I know some other people with the same issues - and we're all pretty funny folks according to others. Best way I can describe it, is that making other people laugh or smile is a momentary balm on the fiery maelstrom of seething writhing hatred and despair in your own head. :smith:

RIP Nanu Nanu. Hope you find peace in death that you couldn't in life.
