You just never relly know who’s having a hard time pushing through life. His real life seemed to be the opposite of that
Charlie Brown character, so relaxed, banal and never flustered.

Robbins first began acting in various films and television shows at the age of seven. As a child, he made a guest appearance as “Elmer” in the popular series The Munsters.[1] Most distinctly, at the age of nine, Robbins provided the voice of Charlie Brown, whom he considered to be his childhood hero,[2] in one television documentary, six Peanuts television specials and one movie from 1963 to 1969, including the film A Boy Named Charlie Brown and the television specials A Charlie Brown Christmas and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. At the age of fourteen, Robbins was replaced by younger child actors in the Peanuts specials produced after the 1960s, but his trademark scream of “AUGH!!”, first used in It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, continued to be used in later specials for Charlie Brown and other Peanuts characters.[4][5]

Despite his personal struggles, he remained attached to Charlie Brown and even had a tattoo of Charlie Brown and Snoopy on his arm.

“in jail because of criminal threats he made against several people”

How surreal would it be getting a threatening phone call from Charlie Brown?

65...

Which means you did the Charlie Brown’s when he was 10 maybe 13.

A whole adult life spent living in the shadow of childhood voice over success?

Maybe there’s a PTSD associated with childhood acting fame and managing expectations when that tiny brush with fame and glory, smoke and thunder no longer exists and cannot be replicated despite a burning desire to stand in the warmth of that coddling bosom.

RIP and thoughts for his family.

Growing up in the 1960s and 1970s was a really special time for children's cartoons, and the Christmas specials were special for kids then.

He must have been a child when he started. He died at age 65 so he 2as born in The Great Pumpkin came out in 1966, when he would have been 9. How could he keep his voice juvenile that long?

That’s so sad. He was looking for the meaning of Christmas. Just shows how Hollywood is the pits for some actors. It’s all illusion and if you can’t spin the web of illusion then you’re not worthy of anything. And you run from that reality in drugs and suicide. Sad. For me Biden is a faker too — he too is all lies. The people who like him must like getting lied to. No wonder the country is in a mess.

Must be COVID-19 related. Every other death is. So says the MSM.

To be honest his death is pretty much the first time I’ve ever heard of this guy.

I was shocked to learn this. He had a tough time, for sure, but he had been a featured guest at a few comicons recently. Very sad. His sister was an actress and died young.

It's got to be a tough life when your major accomplishment is being a voice for an old 60s cartoon character.

He made money signing Charlie Brown photos.

It really is 'Good grief'.
