5 Lesser Known Gifts Of Acting Robin Williams Gave Us

What happened with Robin Williams is truly terrible. One of the best comedians/actors to grace this planet, his work is revered by everyone. However, most people under 30 are unaware of some of Robin Williams' best work. Enjoy these videos, and appreciate Robin Williams' genius.

1. Happy Feet

Perhaps only parents bringing their kids to the theater appreciated Robin William's voiceover, but Robin delivers some of the funniest lines in all of animation.

2. Happy Days

Unfortunately, most of the twenty-somethings reading this have never watched Happy Days, which is a shame. They missed out on Mork, the alien hilariously portrayed by Robin Williams. What makes Mork even funnier is the fact that Robin improvised nearly all of his lines.

3. Friends

As the story goes, Billy Crystal and Robin Williams were near the set of Friends during a shoot. They were asked to make a cameo, and they did not disappoint. Oh, and because it was all spontaneous, there were no lines for Billy and Robin, so what you see is improvised.

4. Aladdin

Nearly everyone I have ever talked to has never put two and two together; Robin Williams is the voice behind the Genie. There's a reason you laughed so hard as a child, and that reason is Robin. His quirky yet brilliant approach to the lines resulted in one of the purest pieces of comedy. Can you imagine if Robin Williams did voice overs in ever Disney film?

5. The Crazy Ones

It only lasted one season, and garnered mixed reviews among the hoi polloi. However, the majority of critics loved it, and I found myself enthralled with Robin Williams’ new show. It’s not too late to watch the whole season!

R.I.P. Robin Williams. Thanks for making all of use laugh.
