Probably the most emotional thing I've seen in 2021. If this biopic doesn't get made, I'mma be upset. Literally brought tears to my eyes by the sheer dedication to learning my man's mannerisms in search a flawless way as to pass off an authentic impersonation of the master of impersonation.

I don't agree with sending this link to Robin's daughter, Zelda on Twitter, though. She's understandably hurt by this footage and I feel that I understand why her and her family cannot watch this in it's entirety (though they have tried and they comment that Jammie Costa's acting and impersonation was legend)

Anyone like to share their thoughts on this video, Costa's performance, the hopes of a biopic with this level of authenticity or just Robin Williams in general, please post them here.

Until the video started, I thought it was Robin. The guy even looked like a young Robin, it's very eerie.

Yeah, Costa only lacks Robin's trademarked "buttchin"

Damn, that was very good.

Knowing Hollywood though, whenever we do get a Robin Williams biopic, it won't be this guy.

He's not hairy enough either.

He doesn't have five o'clock shadow at eight in the morning!

get passed the "looks" and look at the mannerisms. He's got Robin to a T, a simple bit of make up or CGI could do the rest.

He has the gaunt features and general shape, he's obviously got the voice. I think you'd have a damn hard time finding someone who looks more like him and sounds as good.

His acting.... I think he does a perfect Robin Williams impression...but this scene feels more like Robin Williams playing a character rather than a scene from his real life (though maybe one or two lines in there were very good and didn't feel like just a RW impression). But a movie can only do so good, hopefully a full movie would have excellent acting and directing where they would avoid this problem.

You know those people who claim to channel the spirits of the dead -- like they go into a trance, talk in a different voice, and claim to be the deceased?

I don't believe in that kinda stuff, but I think I'm starting to.

Seriously, if that had been audio alone, I would have thought that was Robin Williams. Dude even has his mannerisms down pat.

During the mid 2000s, NBC aired a TV movie called "The Unauthorized Story of Mork and Mindy". It was creepy how much the actor playing Robin Williams sounded like him.

He's pretty good but some parts of that definitely seem like he's trying too hard to imitate Robin and not really living in the character.

this was what I got from it too. It didn't feel like I was watching Robin Williams be himself. It felt like I was watching Robin Williams acting.

You guys gotta remember that this was a guy playing Robing Williams warming up for Mork and Mindy. Therefore, Robin wasn't Robin, he was somewhere in-between. And his mannerisms, that's the way he was (especially in his younger years, he was literally bursting with energy)

He absolutely nailed, and looks alot like robin. Buy I honestly don't have much interest in a Robin Williams biopic.

Nothing against Robin, I'm just kind of over the genre.
