Yeah, over the years I found him to be the same. At the same time though, and I think you and I are in the same age range, he defined childrens entertainment for many of us. Hook, Aladdin and Mrs. Doubtfire, still love all of those.
He was brilliant when he wanted to be, and when he got the right role. His personality was a over the top, one of those comedians who thought they always had to be on, it was the quiet moments where he really shined.
Depression is a hell of a thing, especially deciding to end it all in your early 60s. He was clearly battling something awful and will be missed.
