Chandler Bing??? You could at least give the man some respect by using his REAL name!
I say HUGH LAURIE because I LOVE him SO MUCH and it hurts me to think that he ever hurts. I would make him all better if I could.
He has given us, his fans, so much.

WE LOVE YOU, HUGH.

Ian Curtis of Joy Division. Yes, I’m that old.
And however much my best friend hates him, because he’s relentless, I feel that Robin Williams is so very in need.

Hugh Laurie, Hugh Laurie, Hugh Laurie. 2nd Owen Wilson for Honorable Mention. #1 should be Carrie Fisher. After seeing her one woman show, Wishful Drinking, I wish I could BE her, or at least channel all my ills and angst and brilliantly and wittily and compelling as she does. Definitely my hero. Great topic.

Hmm, I can’t agree wtih Courtney Love, she’s just too obnoxious for me.

I would add:

Elliot Smith
Heath Ledger (seemed to suffer from anxiety, although I don’t know if this was ever confirmed)
Jeff Tweedy
Tatum O’Neill

Kurt Cobain. Syd Barrett, the poor bugger. Ronnie O’Sullivan (The snooker player. OK, this means nothing to an American audience, does it?)
