Known for his effortless comic timing and versatility, he worked in several movies including ‘Jumanji,’ Dead Poets Society,’ ‘Mrs. Doubtfire,’ and ‘Aladdin.’ In a tragic turn of events, in 2014 he committed suicide, and later autopsy reports revealed he had an undiagnosed case of Lewy body dementia, which caused paranoia and anxiety.
