@@feraltaco4783 It was really good. Williams not only got to play a dramatic role, but he got to be subtle with a lot of his performance. People are so used to his over the top antics that they often miss how phenomenal of a dramatic actor he could be at times.

Funniest part of the episode when they call the “waitress “ who gave her number to robin Williams , they call her and it’s just robin doing his ms doubtfire voice lol 😂
A form of the actual friend like you want to put people in jail you do but the game still stay. The game of the cost of Notre Mafia they call themselves the Jamaican lottery or something like that be good for 600 murders!!
Whenever Robin played a comedic role, I think he was trying to make people laugh to never feel the inner pain he did. When he played these kinds of roles, I think he was letting that pain loose.
Im diagnosed with depression and anxiety. That would be so easy to tap into. I also appear to be "normal" amoungest people. I feel I try to uplift people because I don't want others to feel this sadness. It almost sounds scripted... maybe, even rehearsed...a few times.
When that dude died it was like losing a father. A uncle. Like someone who was always in my family for years. He played a big part in my childhood. R.I.P. Robin Williams. May you be happy in peaceful rest. Thank you for making me smile as a child when it was so rough.
😢 besides the memories I have of my grandparents the good memories were all watching Aladdin and Fern Gully, then later Good Morning Vietnam and Good Will Hunting. He was beloved and I am making sure my kids get to see how funny he was. They love to wiggle around to Batty Rap.
His 2nd appearance in the franchise, the first being early in Homicide LOTS as a Baltimore tourist who lost his wife to gun violence. The show was hesitant to cast him as he was typecast in comedic roles, but his performance got people watching the series & boosted the ratings.
Robin Williams... the guy that did iconic dramatic movies in the 90's... was typecasted for comedic roles? Granted, I agree to an extent, because RV and Old Dogs are the same character, but, he wasn't typecasted.
I don't think he was typecast. He was a comedian. I think he just occasionally wanted to do something different as an actor. After his performance in this and.. what was that movie.. Good Will Hunting, maybe? Anyway, after those, I think if he wanted more serious roles he could have gotten them easily.
@@motodog242he did a great job when he played a dramatic role as Matt Damon’s mentor. Damon played a young college aged genius that had been severely abused by his father.
they didn't 'send' anyone to the studio the instant cut is supposed to suggest she told him where he worked and Stabler went straight there alone against protocol out of fear for Benson's life
They were only a few seconds behind him. A better observation, Liv, would be “if he went into that water cuffed, there would be ripples from the splash still.”
@@itzSinno I think Merrit Rook is living in another country,surprised he didn't become a fugitive and have whole city looking for him like detective lake
He almost played Joker in 1989's Batman, and then was the top pick for Riddler in Batman Forever. God he would have been PERFECT as the Riddler, especially after seeing this performance.
Talk about a memory being unlocked. I remember watching this episode when I was younger with my mom and I had no idea Robin Williams in it and it was my first time seeing him as a bad guy. Years later I find out he dies on the same day my son was born. Most of the fondest memories of my childhood involved Robin Williams and I'm grateful for that. May he rest in peace forever.
Merritt Rook is probably still the only major perp on SVU to have never died or been caught. Props to the late Robin Williams for helping craft such a memorable one-time character.
@@drwho-hj1pu he didn't, the girl was absolutely wrong and thought that he died simply because his hands were cuffed. You can swim with your hands cuffed, and someone who has intelligence's character would have known that. Which is why he did the jump, knowing that the others would have thought he died instead of actually chasing him. Having your hands cuffed like that does not mean a death sentence, nor does it mean you won't be able to swim.
I knew Williams could play more than just funnyman roles when given a chance, and here he proved just that. R.I.P. Robin Williams and may your next life be just as good but better than the last.
Robin was so gifted I'm sure the cast of Law and Order was amazed at his skills and when the camera wasn't rolling I'm sure he had everyone laughing, wish I got a chance to meet him. Rest in Power Robin
Robin Williams was a phenominal actor, played comedy and tragedy SO WELL. At first I wasn't sold on her performance in the clip, but 8:10 that's when then scene got ELEVATED from a typical antagonist monologue to to *something unique.* Love him.
Rest in Peace, Robin Williams... a man whose comedic talents were known, but his dramatic roles were where he truly shined. And this role was terrifying. He could really do anything.
Robin Wiliams is the one actor i really miss so much. He was always there for me in his movies and got me out from a dark place. I was devastated when he died
@@brandonspencer5594 That's right, but he declined, because he was still mad at Warner Brothers for using him to bait Jack Nicholson into taking the role of Joker.
@@queent5596 Merrit Rook was they PERFECT villain, suprised he didn't know stabler would shoot or beat him up since he has anger issues,dude must have being predictable
I watch these L&O clips. The acting is almost always good. And then I watch the clip with Robin Williams and I experience what one of the best acting is like. In the first half of the clip he is terrifying, in the second half I sympathize with him.
Robin Williams was truly a legend!! He made us believe in magic in Aladdin, he taught us to think for ourselves in Dead Poets Society, he made a great president Roosevelt in Night at the Museum, and he was terrifying in this episode. R.I.P. Robin Williams 🙏🙏🙏
This was probably one of my top 3 episodes only because ofhow Robin Williams portrayed his character and how this episode was written. Imo his character is alive, avoiding the arrest
It’s always great to see Robin Williams and that he plays a character not only so different from his usual roles but also so unique in the series, but on top of that everyone on the show seemed to absolutely love him just making everyone’s day on and off set.
“Yes, Police, I’d like to report a robbery. Yes, someone robbed Robin Williams of an Emmy.” His performance at 07:46 - 09:05 is nothing but brilliance.
One of the few times we ever got to see robin williams Play a villain And when he Did do it It was a masterpiece, And in all honesty I really wish he would have done more roles like this. Like in all honesty if it wasn't for his age at the time He would have made a better Ridler than Jim Carrey did In batman forever
Robin Williams was a gift to Humanity, many of hes roles defined my love for cinema. I just watched this episode on Netflix, been years since I last saw it on TV... I knew was gonna cry instantly the moment Merritt starts telling Elliot his unbearable loss to an unscrupulous specialist. Art imitates reality... Always thought comedian actors are drama experts, Robin was THE definition to it. My tears were the same when I heard how he departed. No man with that talent and a shiny beautiful smile deserves to suffer that way. Thank you eternally, Robin. I miss you every day. ❤😢
Robin Williams,one of the greatest actors of our time ,delivered a chilling powerhouse of a performance as Merritt Rook, one of SVU's greatest villains !!!
This was probably one of my favorite performances he ever did. Some actors play essentially the same character every movie that you forget they can do anything else, until when they do that rare performance outside of the box, they really shine.
I always wanted a sequel of this storyline and a return of the same actor playing him. Also, the storyline of the RBK killer. The one that was named after the the Humphrey Bogart character and was afraid of the dark and closets. I want a sequel to that one.
Or the “psychic” guy that had been doing stuff in Montreal and then came to New York under a fake name. Sebastian or whoever it was. That actor was so good you genuinely hated him and there’s been a few perps who have pulled that off.
Episodes like this are fantastic, when an actor of this caliber can come in and really give a show some great performance. Robin really stole the show here, a treasure who will be missed.
It’s why when I heard that he was lobbying hard to play Gendo Ikari in the now cancelled live action adaptation of Neon Genesis Evangelion I thought “I could see that” he could be chilling when needed
I have seen a good share of scary svu killers. But Robin’s character is the most interesting and most dangerous one of all. This individual manipulated Stabler. Actually influenced an entire jury to set him free. And became famous. If Robin were still alive, it would’ve been insane if a sequel episode about this story was made. I know for sure he didn’t drown himself into that river. It was all an illusion to get away.
I always loved this episode because of RW, and as Stabler said at 6:34 it is the Milgram experiment but that went over my head dozens of times watching this episode through the years because I had no clue what it was. My senior year English class we learned about the Milgram Psychological Experiment that measured people's obedience to authority even when they knew the shocks they administered caused pain. Upon learning of it i remembered this episode because of this scene & i remembered earlier in the episode he pretended to be "Detective Milgram" as well along with his entire character in the episode revolving around the idea od "Sheep" & "Authority" One of the best episodes in the series because of Williams. I love how convincing he is, despite us knowing he's guilty he's so charming he can convince other's otherwise. My 2nd favorite moment in the episode was in court when he contested the detective's photographic evidense against him by pointing out the photo they used was digitally enhanced to which he shows the jury the photo they enhanced ehich was so blurry you couldnt make out anyone in the photo. He says something along the lines of: "Well that could be more or- it could even be Juror #4" They reply "Its not me haha" Then Robin replies very convincingly "Its not me either"
Robin was a a legendary level actor. He could be a loveable, goofy children's character AND a dead serious, chilling adult character. Talk about range.
And that's the end of the episode. The thing is, there's no way anybody jumped into that water! Look at it. It's almost perfectly still. The guy is still hiding in the bushes somewhere. Perfect ending for a sequel, but there was none. Shameful missed opportunity!
Everything Mr Williams has been involved in are many of my favorite movies and times in my life. Great performances from Mork and Mindy to his last appearance. RIP Mr. Mom
Never thought Robin Williams could be this f'ing terrifying. This was utterly haunting. Mr Williams was a brilliant man, the likes of which we'll never see again in our lifetimes.
You should watch him in the movie "One Hour Photo", another good role where he's playing against his usual type cast.
@@TheVoracity OMG that movie creeped me out.

Insomnia is a good movie where he plays a twisted villain
Rest in peace, Robin Williams. The only villainous role I'd seen him play was in "August Rush", and possibly "One Hour Photo."
One Hour Photo and Insomnia are both amazing
One hour photo was his “anti-hero” performance. He was creepy and disturbed, but you felt bad for him and what he went through at the same time.
Insomnia is one of my favorites!
I loved one hour photo. Not sure the name but there was one he played a radio host …that was a chilling movie
@sweetz187 The Night Listener, I haven't seen it, but I'm intrigued
It’s terrifying to see Robin yelling in anger instead of goofiness.
he was such a good actor.
It's like a clown wielding a gun. It's fuckin' bizarre.

Looking back at that scene, it makes me incredibly curious how he got Olivia's screams on file. She had to have been hurt in some way

One of the best episodes in the series because of Williams. I love how convincing he is, despite us knowing he's guilty he's so charming he can convince other's otherwise. My 2nd favorite moment in the episode was in court when he contested the detective's photographic evidense against him by pointing out the photo they used was digitally enhanced to which he shows the jury the photo they enhanced ehich was so blurry you couldnt make out anyone in the photo. He says something along the lines of:
"Well that could be more or- it could even be Juror #4"
They reply
"Its not me haha"
Then Robin replies very convincingly
"Its not me either"
I think I cried this episode man
Rest in peace to robin williams. Hes definitely a legend. I dont think ive found another actor as good as him
Robin Williams can play an amazing villain!! In every villain role he had!
This shows how amazing of an actor Robin WIlliams truly was. Not just someone who makes you laugh. His drama acting was so much more amazing
Ngl
Everybody freezing like that was pretty creepy lol
Yeah howd that even happen😭
Robin Williams and other comedians are the most under rated actors.
Rest peacefully...
Incredible performance…rest easy, Robin. 🙏🏻♥️
Such a versatile and talented actor ❤
A powerful performance by a powerful entertainer. RIP Mr. Williams.
This is him channeling absolutely everything horrible that has ever happened to him. Only explanation for the pure raw emotion.
Robin Williams gave us so much joy. I wish his end had been peaceful. Great man. Great actor. RIP.
Robin was a a legendary level actor. He could be a loveable, goofy children's character AND a dead serious, chilling adult character. Talk about range.
Robin Williams was a great actor.. this was another side of his acting...besides comedy.. RIP Mr. Williams.. u are missed
Robin always makes me cry during this performance, just get that bad feeling that he’s letting out his darkness through his acting
And that's the end of the episode. The thing is, there's no way anybody jumped into that water! Look at it. It's almost perfectly still. The guy is still hiding in the bushes somewhere. Perfect ending for a sequel, but there was none. Shameful missed opportunity!
AI/deep fake will take care of a sequel. Probably/hopefully done by a common man and distributed underground away from NBC.
@@JamaicanRain so either they character has fled to another country and is living a new life
Everything Mr Williams has been involved in are many of my favorite movies and times in my life. Great performances from Mork and Mindy to his last appearance. RIP Mr. Mom
What a Legend Robin Williams is, even on a one hour Tv Show and escaped from the O.G. S.V.U team!! He will remain one of best actors of our time!!!
Robin Williams was great in every movie he was in. Always extremely captivating. RIP.
Robin Williams is a legend
