Yes. His early Comic Relief telethons with Billy Crystal were awesome. He was also a great actor.

He had his own style, and I thought he was funny as hell. Regardless of his political views, he was a genius and a master of his style of performing.

If you want to know what Robin Williams thought of Arfcom, go watch "The Survivors" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Survivors_%281983_film%29  |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
When he was on top of his game he was a hysterically funny guy and a pretty good dramatic actor as well. Really enjoyed many of his films but his mainstream stuff got repetitive. Last films of his that I saw were One Hour Photo and at some point I saw Death to Smoochy. Enjoyed them. RIP Mr Williams. Death to Smoochy was probably one of the most funny movies that I've ever seen.

Yes. When he was here in Taft filming "The Best of Times" with Kurt Russell he was way funny. I didn't think he knew how to turn the "funny" off. Everything was funny to him, everything. Kind of like 24 / 7 / 365 funny. I will miss him. This is a symptom of a sole in pain. When one is always trying to keep the people around ones self happy they themselves are aching inside. |

I could only tolerate him years ago in small quantities. His good stuff was probably while he was a coke addict.
Did he die nude with a belt around his neck in his closet or with a bag over his head? |

Always been a fan. His Live at The Met is comedy gold. Don't remember which one but seeing him and Jonathon Winters together on one of the late night talk shows was hysterical.

Never saw his stand-up, but never really found him funny in movies. I generally avoided them. I found it to be kind of an obnoxious humor like Jim Carrey, except I really dislike Jim Carrey.

He never seemed to be off
If we never listened to or watched entertainers that are on the opposite side of out politics you'd be missing a lot of good shit The Fisher King took my breath away it was so poignant Patch Adams grabbed me too GMV was great I was a Jonathan winters fan back in the day, but Williams tired me out doing standup Talent can hide personality flaws many greats have passed on with issues |

As a kid I loved his standup comedy but as an adult I found it really....well, coked out and not funny at all.
However, when he was scripted, Mr. Williams was FANTASTIC. I remember reading an interview in the late 70s where he quite vocally professed that he wanted to do serious work. It took a long time for him to get there as he was really typecast in a time when typecasting STUCK. Still, he persevered and, by God, he was a DAMN good dramatic actor....and a good comedic one, too. It's a bummer that he won't be practicing his craft any longer....as he was damn good at it. |
