It is always shocking when someone suddenly has passed away and I just woke up with great shock reading that actor Robin Williams has passed away. So I immediately decided to write this post about him and there is not better way to remember him than to create an overview of all his roles. Making the overview I realised how many great movies Robin Williams has acted in. He won an Oscar for his role in Good Will Hunting and through his career acted in both serious roles and comedies. These include movies like Patch Adams, Good Morning Vietnam, Hook, One Hour Photo, Insomnia, Flubber, Toys, What Dreams May Come, The Fisher King, Jumanji, Aladdin, Awakenings. He was a versatile actor who will be missed.
What’s your favourite Robin Williams role?

Such a loss. Really, a genuine, heartfelt, loss.
One of my top three comedians ever.
Yeah, he was an amazing actor who could be both hilarious and play serious roles in a way you’d never expect him to be such a great comic.
This news is devastating. He was so talented, I’m glad you chose him for your ‘Many Faces’ today.
Yeah, it really is. I just had to take the time out to make this one and put it up, he’s worth the tribute.
Sad that he’s gone. My favorite roles of his are Dead Poets Society and One Hour Photo.
Yeah was chilling in One Hour Photo. Will have to admit that DPS is one of those movies I still have not checked out but have been planning to for a while now.
Thanks for sharing this, Nostra. It instantly shares all those roles with readers the joy this man and talent brought.
Thanks, I also liked putting this together and seeing how many great roles he has had in his career. Still can’t believe what happened.
Big loss, great tribute.
Thank you Fernando!
It’s hard to say what is my favorite performance of his. He has so many. Probably a tie between Dead Poets Society and Mrs. Doubtfire.
Lots of people have named those. I just watched Good Will Hunting today and he is also very great in that.
Glad you did this as a tribute Nostra! He’s versatile indeed, a gifted comic who can turn in dramatic chops convincingly. I will always love him in Dead Poets Society and Mrs. Doubtfire.
Yeah, I just had to do something even if it cost me a bit of time as soon as I got up. Will check out Dead Poets Society very soon as I’ve never seen that.
I was gutted and broke into actual tears when I heard about it. He was that uncle you always wish you had. He could blend comedy & drama so well. My favourite role of his is from Goodwill Hunting actually. The famous bench scene w/ Matt Damon is absolutely beautiful. RIP 🙁
Yeah, just saw that movie today and him and Damon work so well of each other, really stood out and touched me.
A tragic loss. My favorite role of his was probably in Good Morning Vietnam. More recently he was great in the episode of Louie he starred in.
Indeed it is, what better way to celebrate his life with watching movies and shows he stars in 🙂
It’s great to see all the characters he has played – each image brings back such wonderful memories. I perhaps didn’t realise how much I enjoyed Robin Williams’ work until I started to write my tribute and top 10. A very sad loss. I’ll miss him.
I will as well Dan.
It’s hard to pick just one role, given his long and diverse career. I think his best performance is Good Will Hunting, but I have a soft spot for some of his 90s family films like Hook and Jumanji as well. Definitely a huge loss in the movie world.
Watched Good Will Hunting last week again and that is an awesome performance. Never was a huge fan of Hook/Jumanji myself.
