Mandy Patinkin is getting candid about his feelings following the tragic murders of Rob and Michele Reiner. Fans know Mandy as the iconic Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride. He worked closely with director Rob throughout the film and developed a friendship with him, so the news of their murders is understandably hitting Mandy hard. He heartbreakingly told People in a statement on Monday: "How do we process this unthinkable tragedy? Loss after loss after loss! What is happening to our world? What is happening to our human race? I can't breathe, but I'm breathing. I'm howling at the gods every moment. Then I talk to a friend or myself and quiet down and I realize the gods are not to blame, the tsunami of tragedy is the responsibility of human beings." So powerful. Wow. Looking back at filming the legendary 1987 fantasy film, the 73-year-old actor said: "When we were filming the scene in The Princess Bride, where Inigo kills the six fingered man and says: 'I want my father back your son of a bitch,' take after take after take Rob kept asking me to do less do less do less. n my sleepless night, I realized he wanted less anger from me to allow my broken heart to be felt."

This is what Rob helped him lock in on during filming - and it sounds like that's stuck with Mandy ever since. Continuing, the Criminal Minds star said he's using his friend's memory to remind himself "to keep fighting": "Now I'm hearing his voice tell us all to do more do more do more to repair the human soul to repair our hearts to repair our country to repair our world. To never give up, to keep fighting, to keep living for every soul taken from this earth, that no longer has the life and breath to raise their voices for a better world, we must raise our voices for them." Wrapping up his statement, Mandy said he wants everyone to use Rob's memory to "guide" them through life: "Follow Rob's example. Let Rob Reiner's actions guide you. I don't believe we ever recover from such cumulative loss, but I am certain it teaches us to live with a greater purpose to cherish every moment that we are alive to be of service to every aspect of our existence to never give up. When we're feeling lost say to ourselves 'What would Rob do?' And then do it. Do it for Rob, do it for all of us." Such a beautiful sentiment to take from such a tragedy. Our heart goes out to Mandy as he mourns this difficult loss. R.I.P.
