What character comes to mind when you think of Robin Williams?

His IMDB page:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000245/

Man, Robin Williams was amazing! He was such a capable actor. Totally able to pull off both serious and wacky and so much in between. He has so many notable characters and movies. Easily one of my favorite actors.

As far as what comes to mind I wanna say the Genie 'cause I watched that over and over and over as a kid but his role in Good Morning, Vietnam comes to mind first. I haven't actually seen that movie though, just clips, so dunno why that's in my head so prominently.


Any nominations going forward would be cool. I have a big list of 'em now but if you suggest someone on there they can move up the rankings and come sooner. Also, if you have any input on how to improve the topic, let me know.

Previous days (If you wanna participate. After I hit 10 days I might start removing early days form the list below to keep it more concise.:
Day 1: Tom Hanks
Day 2: Bruce Willis
Day 3: Emma Thompson
Day 4: Troy Baker
Day 5: Ben Stiller
Day 6: Matt Damon
Day 7: Tom Cruise
Day 8: Evan Peters
Day 9: Will Smith
>Day 10: Robin Williams

Next 5:
Adam Sandler
Scarlett Johansson
Chloe Grace Moretz
Patrick Stewart
Leonardo DiCaprio



Trying something new with the quote box to sorta help separate my post from the topic for discussion purposes. Could possibly just do a separate post but I prepare these topics ahead of time sometimes so I can fire it off before I head off to work. I could stick it down here but then it kinda feels separated from the topic even though it's basically the same as doing it in the second post. It doesn't really matter so I dunno...

The professor from Good Will Hunting, followed either by Mrs Doubtfire or his Birdcage character. World's Greatest Dad -- which ruined him for me -- also jumps to mind. Also Mork, even though I never watched Mork & Mindy. To a lesser extent, that jungle guy from Jumanji.

Wait, didn't this series already do Jim Carrey? Could have sworn it was asked recently. Ditto for Jack Nicholson.

Also nominating William Shatner. While many people remember him best for Captain Kirk, he'll always be Denny Crane to me.

Oh, plus nominating James Spader although I expect most people will immediately associate him with his hit tv show.

Probably his stand-up comedy. People forget because he was in so many great movies, but he was an awesome stand-up comic, and if rumors are true all of his comedy was basically improv: He didn't "write" a single joke.

As far as movies, probably the genie from Aladdin. I swear they wrote the whole movie around him because he played it so well.
