We begin here with that major revelation today from the wife of Robin Williams. Weve now learned that in his final days, williams was dealing not only with depression and the battle to stay sober, but also something else. Something he wasnt ready to tell the world about. Tonight, nick watt bring the comedians secret struggle. And nick sits down with the men telling the real story behind one of Robin Williams signature roles. Reporter in his standup, Robin Williams didnt shy away from his demons. You see, as an alcoholic, you will violate your standards quicker than you can lower them. You will do [ bleep ] that even the devil would go, dude. Reporter today, his wife, telling the world of a battle williams hadnt been ready to talk about. Robins sobriety was intact, Susan Schneider said in a written statement. He was brave as he struggled with depression, anxiety and early stages of parkinsons disease, which he was not yet ready to share publicly. Early parkinsons consists of tremor and a little bit of slowness and perhaps postural changes. Reporter its often an integral part of the disease. 20 to 40 suffer severe depression. I wouldnt want to leave people that theres a relationship between parkinsons and depression. People can be discouraged when they hear about the diagnosis. Thats different than being depressed. Reporter michael j. Fox who was diagnosed with parkinsons, tweeted, stunned to learn robin had p. D. Pretty sure his support for our foundation predated his diagnosis. A true friend. I wish him peace. Susan, williams widow, hopes might live in how he died. Its our hope in the wake of robins tragic passing, that others will get the care and support they need to treat the battles they are facing, so they may feel less afraid. We want to give the thoughts and prayers to his family. Reporter on broadway, the cast of aladdin and the man filling williams genie shoes, paid an appropriate tribute. You little genius, you. Reporter since Robin Williams death, it is this role, the genie in aladdin, that many are choosing to remember him by. Al, all joking aside, just be yourself. Reporter the genie is a cartoon manifestation, voiced by williams. I wanted to be him. Reporter drawn by animator Eric Goldberg, a movie made by our parent company, disney. He just speaks to robins immense abilities and warmth. 10,000 years will give you such a crick in the neck. Reporter this was a role created for williams, in a time before big movie stars voice animated movies and a time before real bellylaugh humor was a cornerstone of bigscreen cartoons. But never duplicated. Duplicat duplicated. Reporter Robin Williams genie changed all that. We were animators. Reporter the directors took a risk and wrote the role for williams. And to convince him to take it, goldberg animated lines from an old williams comedy album. Before we do the play, i want to talk about the serious subject of schizophrenia. I had the genie grow another head to argue with him in the animation. That clicked with him. There was a script. We started with a script. Aladdin. Nice to have you on the show. Can we call you al . Maybe just din. When we got robin in the booth, if thats a road map, then robin took lots of detours. Theres a popsicle stand. His energy would grow and grow and grow. Not bad. Good night, alice. We were at a point, we have so much stuff. This is incredible. He would do, let me do it again. L lets make some magic. Reporter the world of aladdin, captured some of that magic. We didnt expect him to come back with all of the celebrity impressions the first time we recorded him. I never did it. I am not at fault. You need more power, jim. Dont be afraid. You had it all along. So, we readapted. We incorporated robins riffs into the fabric of the film. The everimpressive all right, sparky, heres the deal. Not many people will recognize the impression of william f. Buckley. Theres a few we work with some of them. That doesnt matter. And sometimes he would just say a hysterically funny line only once. And we would have to pluck it out. For example, when he was the bee. Stop it. Buzz off. You know, it was once. He only did it once. Okay. Fine. But remember, bee yourself. Yeah, right. He can do so much with his voice to make it expressive, to make it change, to make it be different characters. Reporter and to have that voice attached to that brain. Yeah. Exactly. Its kind of a onetwo punch there, really. Come on, kid, see . Got to get the snake, see . No substitutions, exchanges or refunds. A mind that was special and unique and went to places most of us have never been. The spirit and his passion and his connection to both the characters in the movie and the audience, i dont think thats going to dim over the years. Genie, im going to miss you. Reporter Eric Goldberg drew this tribute to Robin Williams. He was a reallife genie. And, boy, did he grant our wishes. No matter what anybody says, you will always be a prince to me. Reporter im nick watt, for nightline, in los angeles. Coming up on nightline, the guy who makes his living by transforming himself into shark bait to get images of some of the most fierearsome animals on bait to get images of some of the most fierearsome animals on earth. So i was honest with my. I told him id been feeling stuck for a long time. He said that for some people, an antidepressant alone only helps so much and suggested we add Abilify Aripiprazole . He said that by taking both, some people had symptom improvement as early as 1 to 2 weeks. I wish id talked to my doctor sooner. [ female announcer ] abilify is not for everyone. Call your doctor if your depression worsens or you have unusual changes in behavior, or thoughts of suicide. Antidepressants can increase these in children, teens and young adults. Elderly dementia patients taking abilify have an increased risk of death or stroke. Call your doctor if you have high fever, stiff muscles and confusion to address a possible lifethreatening condition. Or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these could become permanent. High blood sugar has been reported with abilify and medicines like it and in extreme cases can lead to coma or death. Other risks include increased cholesterol, weight gain, decreases in white blood cells, which can be serious, dizziness on standing, seizures, trouble swallowing and impaired judgment or motor skills. [ terri ] since adding abilify, i feel better. Abilify and my antidepressant make a pretty good team. [ female announcer ] ask your doctor about a free trial of abilify and go to addabilify. Com.

Sharks are having a real moment right now, from the popularity of shark week on discovery, to the gusto with which we in the media cover every shark attack. And if sharks are becoming celebrities of the sea, somebody needs to play paparazzo, right . Tonight, youre going to meet a guy who has volunteers for that job. And even though he takes enormous risks, he is more worried about what his amateur imitators are doing. Heres abcs linsey davis. Reporter hes the ultimate thrillseeker. Mate, good luck. Reporter he is great white shark bait. For 11 months out of the year, andy calls these dangerous sharkinfested waters home. His job is to film these oceanic predators up close. Extremely close. Andy is one of the only photographers willing to dive with these great whites. Theres Something Different about these whites. They are truly the worlds wildest white sharks. And im really excited to get in the water with them. Reporter once youre out, what stops a shark from coming up and deciding that youre din center. Yeah. Thats always a factor to consider, that you will get a shark that wants to take a bite. I try to be really calm and zen about it because, you know, you cant be constantly panicked and frantic or the sharks pick up on that and feed into that energy. And they start bullying you around. Reporter just last year, the team came facetoface with an 18foot aggressive great white the locals nicknamed slash. Today, andy and his crew were off the coast of new zealand, one of the largest populations of great white sharks on the earth. We may be coming facetoface with the largest great white shark ever seen on this planet. Reporter theyre on a mission, to find a group of massive great whites recorded in the area, and capture it on camera for discoverys shark week, airing all this week. Andy ventures down, first, without a cage. Then, decides its way too dangerous. This time, within minutes, andy is surrounded, with sharks investigate their prey. Things get extremely tense. I got three sharks surrounding. And theres a really big one. Reporter finally, the sharks disperse. But the team things one of these sharks can lead them to the megashark, slash. They decide to place a tracking camera on a sharks fin. I think if i get this on one white shark, well see multiple white sharks. Reporter but to get close enough, andy goes out in a tiny boat. Here he comes. Four in the boat. Yeah. The fin cam is on. This is going to be awesome. Reporter thanks to shows like discoverys shark week, people are more fascinated by sharks than ever. Some shark junkies take their fascination to the extreme, looking for a quick thrill and bragging rights on youtube. This florida teen hitched a ride on a whale shark last summer. And this guy jumped in with a shark, thinking a bird cage would protect him. All for a viral video. Whoa. Reporter this nantucket fisherman garnered online fame when this video of him wrestling a shark to shore went viral. People think im crazy. Its wild to run into the water and grab a shark by its tail. In my mind, it wasnt that big of a deal. And anyone who catches sharks regularly, its what you do. Reporter he used to drag the sharks to shore for fun. But after criticism from conservationists, he started a shark tagging club for research. We followed him out to the beaches of nantucket, to get up close. The bait is only in the water for a few minutes when elliot snags a sand bar shark, nearly seven feet long. Here we go. You only want to drag them when theyre in the water like this, so it slides easy. Reporter he wrestles it to land, tags it, measures it, before releasing it. Elliot is no scientist. But believes his work is helping researchers gather data about these majestic creatures. Some experts question his methods. See you later, boy. I think the value of the data and the knowledge gained from learning about these sharks outweighs the potential harm to the shark. Reporter this is the 34th shark elliot has caught and tagged this year. Not only are shark populations rising along u. S. Coastal waters shark, get out of the water. Shark. Reporter but so are the attacks. Just last month, steve robles came facetoface with a great white. You just hear everything crunch. Reporter shark attacks are rare. But with more surfers and thrillseekers venturing into infested waters, its a dangerous combination. Were entering the sharks realm. Its not like sharks are coming to the beaches to hunt us. Were going into the sharks territory, so, occasionally they make mistakes. Reporter off the coast of new zealand, andy and his team continue tracing the path of the fin cam. They think they pinpointed the location. And decide to take a night dive. Its immediately a feeding frenzy. Great whites on every side. The team is taken by surprise. The sharks disperse. And suddenly, out of nowhere, a massive great white emerges from the darkness. That was that looked unbelievable, man. Reporter back with his family, shark pro, andy, says the potential for danger wont deter him from doing it all over again. Have you dialed things back a little bit, now that youre a husband and father . Yeah. You know, i love these guys. I still take risks. But theyre always calculated. And im safe as possible. So, you know, you can die at any time in any way. Im just going to make sure i do it right. And always come home, right . Reporter for nightline, im linsey davis, in new york.

I turned into that grizzled guy on the cover of the book. I look more and more like me. I could do that part.

We jammed a little bit between scenes. Broke out our guitars and sang a bit. Reporter jeff bridges plays the giver, the only person in society, who holds memories of pain. But he begins to question the rules, as he passes the secrets on to his young protprotege, th receiver. We can be envies you, angry, consumed with hatred. Reporter theres interesting things like euthanasia, and the call to rebellion. Those are the movies i like to see. Reporter a trio of rising stars is led by quentin brate.
