@@surebrec5113 no, he was a stage talent, a NY out the ball park comic. But Hollywood got hold of him, thought they could contain him, threw Popeye, Jumanji and Hook at him, but they didnt work. It only worked when he was calm, and sensible, in Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets. Everything else was a shtshow.
What's incredibly ironic and satisfying about all of the posts goes back to something my grandfather used to say to me when I was younger. "Figures don't lie, liars figure" No matter HOW much anyone may love/hate any one of those actors, when you honestly look at the numbers without any bias, it's almost impossible to see the numbers. Or, as someone else put it to me once, using a baseball analogy, "You can have a lucky day, but you can't have a lucky career." Numbers always win in the long game, and as an older guy now, I love nothing more than seeing those numbers come into play in this form. An ironic film to demonstrate this would be "Moneyball" with Brad Pitt.
Agreed @zzzzxxxxxz6017! And actually, it was way less initially: a modest 75k, under the condition that his voice wouldn't be used for merchandising. When Disney broke that promise, they later made it up to him with an extra $1 million to smooth things over.
Thank you for bringing this up @jamesdorward437! Actually, both figures are true. Initially, he got a modest 75k, under the condition that his voice wouldn't be used for merchandising. When Disney broke that promise, they later made it up to him with an extra $1 million to smooth things over.
He added what Williams was paid for his voice being used for merchandising, Disney broke their contractual agreement to not use his voice for merchandising and had to pay him the extra thus.
Hook and bicentennial man are two of my most loved movies, I cannot believe It has been ten years since we lost our most beloved robin Williams 😔
From what I remember, I haven’t seen it since it was a New Release, Shakes the Clown was funny as hell.
Great person. Probably the greatest comedian ever. Ad libs many lines in good morning Vietnam. Certainly missed. Nanu nanu.
So much talent so sadly thrown away. 😟
i never regarded him as oscar material, but many just as talented got an oscar too. His finest was Dead Poets Society, what a film.
He was definitely Oscar worthy in a few films especially The Birdcage , Good Will Hunting & Bicentennial Man
If you never had him as Oscar material, you don't really appreciate the scope of his abilities.
For him to win only one Oscar is a travesty.

Well said, @dirkclarke2372! Respect.
300 Million and still so sad, the power of depression.........
1.1 million for Aladdin is a crime

You should do a video on Brittany Murphy
Interesting pick, @KevinBroten-o5f! Noted.
Is it 4.1 Mil for Mrs.Doubtfire? Says 41 Mil
There’s no typo, @jeffy631! He negotiated a juicy backend deal that gave him a share of the profits.
I fell asleep during bicentennial man and Jack.
I’ve found that, at least in my case, whether I like Bicentennial Man or find it boring really depends on my mood.
Question who gets all the money
Clearly didn't do proper research robin was only paid 75000 for aladdin

SANMUKH NAASH...
He wasn't really a very good actor. He could never get far from being Robin Williams.
lots of poor choice movies. Peter Pan, Miss Doubtfire. YUUUUUUUUUK. not a fan I can tell you.
A lot of poor to average movies
