Fav Robin Williams Role ?
 
What was your favorite Robin Williams role?

Mine - the Genie in Aladdin! He adlibbed so often and so much - the animators had to redo the Genie to match the adlibbed script!

Patch Adams. Hard to watch with Robin and Phillip Seymour Hoffman both gone now.

All of them. Big fan. We saw him on stage in San Fran when we lived there. So very funny. Sad.

Mrs Doubtfire

He was a very troubled man and his loss is very sad. He was an absolute comedic genius and his talent will be missed.

He made too many great movies to have one as a favorite.

I would have to say "Good Morning Vietnam" as it combined his comedic and dramatic talents very well. I also liked "Patch Adams." A great loss.

Mrs. Doubtfire. Watching it confirmed I needed to get divorced. I have lived happily ever after!

Dead Poet's Society. He made me believe that I could make a difference as a professor. I even climbed on my desk once to stir up the class. I will miss him. So sad.

Definitely Good Morning, Vietnam.

I was fortunate enough to see him onstage when he was first starting in San Francisco. Many other comedians would walk off the stage if he was in the audience or backstage. Robin adlibbed (especially when he was high on coke, which was most of the time back then) so much that their lines would just come out as he was doing his material. Then people would ask the original comedian why s/he was using Robin's act. When Robin figured out what he was doing, he made it a practice to wait outside until it was time for him to perform. He always had a nice thing to say to his fans while out there.

I can't believe he is gone. What a tragic loss for everyone.
