Best Known For: The Genie in Aladdin, Popeye in Popeye, Mork in Mork and Mindy and Happy Days, Daniel Hillard/Eugenia Doubtfire in Mrs. Doubtfire, and Theodore Roosevelt in Night at the Museum I-III.
Admit it, you all figured he was going to be somewhere on this list. I can imagine some of you saying "called it" as I type this post. Robin Williams is my favorite actor of all time! He is one of the actors that I turn to when I need a laugh, when I need to relax after a long day. I first became exposed to this actor through Aladdin and since that moment I heard him as the genie, I was an instant fan of this man's work. Williams had a wide range as an actor, and has acted in many roles that were both serious and comedic. He was never a person to follow a script "word for word". He improvised, he came up with his own jokes, his own gags, and in the case of films such as Mrs. Doubtfire, he offered some suggestions for the story. He was one of the people I always wanted to meet at a convention, along with Stan Lee, Sean Schemmel and Tara Strong. He was (and still is) one of my biggest inspirations as a writer, animator, and graphic designer. You are never forgotten on this blog, Robin Williams. You are praised, and now, you are "free at last" and free from the lamp that bound you to the earth.
