Oh gawd I love watching him in interviews...mostly to see the interviewer squirm and try to get Robin back on topic. Seasoned interviewers have learned to just let him take over!
Robin Williams....

Absolutely!
Heard a story about the filming of "The Bird Cage" that both Robin Williams and Nathan Lane were "let go" to improvise, and some "cuts" were called because the director (Mike Nickels) had fallen on the floor laughing and (a few times) actually left the set to make sure the scene got through.
I've noticed that so many comedians make wonderful "serious" actors! I think a lot of their laughter comes from pain, and that's why so many people relate to the humor.

LOL on the "cuts" I heard that too.
I totally agree with ^. Very very true...I think.

Oh you have got to see him with Matt Lauer...I don't think Katie can handle him. Matt has him and asks one question and doesn't say another word until he wipes the tears of laughter from his eyes and says "This is Today..."
And Conan O'Brien was a riot with Robin...Robin said "What are you trying to get me to discuss my movie?" and went of on some other topic!

I loved him on "Who's Line Is It Anyway?" They had to bleep him out quite a few times but it was funny cause you can read Robin William's lips very clearly...even if it isn't a swear!

Loved the HBO special. The oral sex bit at the end was a classic! I love his standup and I think he's a great actor. Anyone with the range to do movies from "Dead Poet's Society" to "The Birdcage" is extraordinarily gifted.

Hello all - (Hi Russell!)
Scots golf - we were rolling - we have satellite so we caught the special live, and then immediately again on a different HBO channel - truly remarkable man - intelligent and funny as hell!

Re: I like him better as an actor than a comedian.
I loved him in that movie. I think he just keeps getting better and better. His range is phenomenal.

The Fisher King.
I thought that really showed the depth of his talent.

I've got to agree about the Fisher King
His performance in the Fisher King was a bit more compelling than his performance in Dead Poets Society, and certainly superior to Good Will Hunting.
Maybe that was the genesis for his comment about the Oscars being political on Sunday night.

Re: I've got to agree about the Fisher King
This is an interesting thought...that would be a great question for an interview...if you could get him to answer it.

aren't the questions just perfunctory?

PENNYWISE, BAD girl
I was watching what dreams may come last night I'm thinking he's no particularily attractive, but he has a personality and humanity to die for.

C'mon dear Cheffiebaby....
A man that funny has got to be something in bed. I would just like to fuck his brains out. Just once. Then it would be on to Tim Curry. OR maybe both at once.
