mr. obama says robin williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny and everything in between but he was one of a kind. and director steven spielberg, robin was a lightning storm of comic genius and our laughter was the thunder that sustained him. and this picture is making the rounds on social media. take a look. it's robin williams as a denver broncos cheerleader he led the cheerleading charge for the broncos as mork on the comedy mork and mindy only to get cold feet and run away. >>> a short time ago, officials with the city of hollywood placed a bouquet at williams' star on the walk of fame. it's a practice reserved for the deaths of the most honored entertainment figures. hundreds of people then flocking to the site since monday leaving flowers and mementos. >>> today several of williams' fellow actors reflecting on the loss of a good friend. >> such a great man. he was a friend and i admired him and, you know, he is -- he is a legend. unbelievable. >> as an individual, i think he had a lot of heart and compassion. he transcended his fear of expertise a benchmark of the comedians. >> it's a devastating loss for slow

only from people who are famous people like steven spielburg who just described tasmanian devil like comedian but also ordinary people who talk about scenes from mrs. doubt fire who mentioned captain, my captain, there's a real personal connection here. you see it sometimes wihen peope like phillip seymour hoffman died people who touch us with their work who move us and inspire us. robin williams was that kind of person. >> four movies are supposed to come out. do you think it will happen? >> those movies as far as we understand will be completed. the biggest third night of the museum wrapped in may. so that's still on track for a christmas release. some of the other ones are smaller films like merry fricken christmas comedy and they are still looking for distribution so it's not clear when they will be making it to theaters but his work was done in those. >> do you know anything about his personal life, why he would do this? >> i wouldn't even begin to speculate. his pub list mentioned he had apparently been struggling with severe depression had checked himself back into rehab. clearly has had and has been very forthcoming about personal issues i

other americans are being held by isis, steven sotloff on the video, the state department offered few details. >> we are aware of other american citizens, including mrtloff, being held in syria. >> the video with its horrifying simplici simplicity, the fact that sotloff and foley are together in the isis stronghold shows a level of sophistication. >> they have a lot of enemies in both countries that they have to keep these hostages sheltered frr in order to maintain control of them. >> isis doesn't need the money, after they raided iraqi banks and took control of northern oil fields. >> with the james foley video, isis shows they're trying to use hostages in a way that shocks us into submission. >> the obama administration will rely on a law enforcement model, including a traditional fbi investigation to bring foley's killers to justice. yet u.s. intelligence officials have complained in the past about the difficulty of operating in syria and iraq. >> joining us now is christopher hill, former u.s. ambassador to iraq, dean of the university of denver's joseph porbell school of international studies and the author of "outpost." good to have you with
