Robin Williams is one of the most tranformative actors on the planet, perhaps the universe.
He came into our lives in 1978 on Happy Days playing Mork. Over twenty-five years later, we still look for every opportunity to see him perform as a stand-up comedian and on the big screen.
The messages he has to share with the world come out of his dramatic performances, as much as his one-man-band stand-up routines.
These performances, as well as his comedy club acts, have molded this award-winning performer into nearly every and any character imaginable. At least we believe he is capable of any role, no matter the gender or planet.
His comedy routines on DVD include:
Robin Williams: A Night at The Met (1995)
Robin Williams: Live 2002 (2002)
Robin Williams: Live on Broadway (2002)
Robin's "claim to fame," was the television show, Mork and Mindy.
The role was first offered to Dom DeLuise.
From 1978-1982, Williams came into our dorm rooms and our living rooms all across the country. The alien from Ork made us laugh, hysterically.
For that half hour each week, our lives came to an utter stand still.
Behind that hilarious spirit is one of the most soulful people we've ever met. Perhaps it is his humorous side that makes him dig down so deep to identify with the souls of so many from Americans to Russians to the Japanese to Army soldiers to drag queens.
Of all Williams' productions, our favorites include:
