Seeing as Mr. Whitaker acted with Robin Williams in "Good Morning Vietnam" and the re ent death of Robin Williams:

Considering how Robin William's comedic genius inspired so many other fellow artists, and how his dramatic work also helped to launch several now A-List actors, I think it would be befitting for there to be a Tribute done by his colleagues remembering all the great moments this artist gave to the world.

If they were brave enough, the tribute could be tied into raising awareness and removing the stigma around depression / mental health issues.

Perhaps in doing so, through remember his gifts, we all could become more compassionate, aware, responsive, joyful.

So

I put forward a call - to all out there to petition his colleagues in both the comedic and dramatic world to do this in memory of a man who brought joy and laughter to so many

I liked his work, but we don't need a benefit. He committed suicide. He had all the help and then some that many people do not have.
