Posted: 1/17/05 at 2:55amHe manages to be very gracious and hilarious at the same time. It's so evident what a nice man he is, and he's one of the only comedian I can think of who can fully immerse himself into either a comedic or dramatic role and you forget the celebrity persona.

Posted: 1/17/05 at 9:56amRobin Williams is just a genius. Watching him on the red carpet and his speech was a hoot. He is just HILARIOUS!! But aside from that, he is also an incredible dramatic actor. He can play both sides of the spectrum perfectly. LOVE HIM!

No. He can't be Tevye. That is Harvey's role for now.
And if Hairspray was playing in LA, I think he would make a brilliant Edna.
His Mrs Doubtfire was perfect. All he has to do is change the English accent to a Brooklyn accent. Simple for him.
I love him.

We were out during the GGs and were at the diner for Robin's speech, and the TVs had it closed captioned. VERY ODD to see his "accents" just being written out. Funny in a very different way, lol.
Oh, and I LOVE him :) Went home and watched his HBO special right afterwards...that never gets old.

The man made me cry a bit at the end with his comments on Cristopher Reeve. Very beautiful.
Does anyone remember an episode of Homicide:Life on the Streets where Robin guest starred as a NY tourist with his family. His wife was shot in broad daylight right in front of him and his kids. It is the first time I was ever truly moved by a tv drama. It was also the first time I ever saw him not make a single joke in one of his performances and I was blown away by his abilities as an actor.
P.S. Thought Jamie Foxx getting all choked up at the end was very touching as well. Who would ever have guessed that In Living Color would give us two of our up and coming great leading actors?

Posted: 1/17/05 at 12:57pmAbout a dozen years or so ago, didn't Robin Williams star with Steve Martin in a Lincoln Center Benefit production of WAITING FOR GODOT?

Posted: 1/17/05 at 1:09pmHe really is something. I just watched the Golden Globes last night where his career and life was honored and they had this huge montage of scenes from his work over the years and then he made a speech. He really does have ALOT of talent andd he really deserved that award. When they asked him to come onstage everyone in the theatre stood up and gave him a standing ovation. Really nice.
I wanted to get something that an "ex"-junkie like him would really appreciate and cherish....it's a brick of heroin shaped like a heart.

Posted: 1/17/05 at 2:09pmi was surprised (in a sense) that he was married and had kids. (i never really thought about it... you know?) And his kids we suprisingly good looking. Props to Robin and his wife (origional and current...) for having pretty spawn!

Posted: 1/17/05 at 2:30pmI think his mind is way too creative to be stuck working in a play where he has to reproduce his work everyday. I think he needs to be in an environment where he can adlib and do whatever he wants whenever he wants to.

Posted: 1/17/05 at 2:33pmtrue, but i am pretty sure if he signed for a show, he would be given the liscence to stray from the script on random tangents whenever her wanted(within reason). it would be part of the charm, and would probably be a blast for the cast. It would be a new show every night!!!!! Updated On: 1/17/05 at 02:33 PM
