Robin Williams's choice of films/parts.......... .telling?


People criticize Nicholas Cage for his choice of parts, but I think Robin Williams's choices are equally strange.......in fact, I believe they are even stranger, especially from a psychiatric point of view. I.e., RW's parts are significantly farther away from "normal."

Thats his characters often creep me out, might be testimony to his skill as an actor......or bits of his underlying psychopathology leaking out, where it happens so often, I tend to believe its the latter.

Can you imagine being stuck in an elevator with Robin Williams and Jonathan Winters? Yikes!

Since your comment he has taken his on life ... something I will never understand .. He must have had a terrible dark side .. He is truly missed .

I think he was depressed his entire life. Hence the self medicating with drugs, the infidelity, and the over the top zany. Running from himself until age and disease caught with him. He was good in those parts because he was playing himself.
