any tangent that entered his mind to its
illogical and hilarious conclusion a
Perrier here I had to stop drinking
alcohol because I used to wake up Newton
hood of my car of my keys and my head
Williams also had small parts on
television including the Richard Pryor
show and happy days the popularity of
that appearance led to Williams first
big break in 1978 Mork & Mindy debuted
and Williams portrayed an alien sent to
earth to observe humans eventually his
comedy Idol Jonathan winters also joined
the cast Williams spontaneity was
evident and scripts allowed for his
improvisations however it was also
around this time that the comedian began
to struggle with drug and alcohol abuse
becoming like them Williams made the
jump to film in 1980 in the live-action
Popeye movie which highlighted his
talent at voice mimicry no one cut its
own sense of humor he then took on more
dramatic roles this was followed by a
Golden Globe nominated performance in
the 1984 comedy-drama Moscow on the
Hudson
Williams mastery of dialect was evident
in his portrayal of a Russian man in the
United States it is too big max won’t

in the Terry Gilliam comedy The
Adventures of Baron Munchausen following
that Williams focused on drama for a few
years and then appeared in another Terry
Gilliam production his character in
1991’s the Fisher King allowed him to
showcase both his dramatic talent and
the spontaneous energy for which he was
known and it won him another Golden
Globe and an Oscar nomination that same
year he appeared opposite Dustin Hoffman
as an aging Peter Pan in the hit family
film hook this movie allowed Williams to
portray both a middle-aged businessman
and his youthful alter ego Williams also
took on a couple of voice roles in
animated features that year first came
his turn as the genie in Disney’s
Aladdin will give you such a crick in
the neck this role proved the importance
of voice talent to an animated film as
the ad libbed much of his dialogue all

a straight shooter – you got it then
came his role as a confused bat in the
environmentally conscious cartoon Fern
Gully
the last rainforest 1993 saw Williams
Donna fat suit wig mask and muddled
British accent to play the title role in

following Matt Williams was a big kid in
Jack also in 1996 came The Birdcage
where he portrayed a drag nightclub
owner trying to play it straight to
impress his son’s fiance’s family while

part restrained the comedies flubber and
father’s day followed in 1997 the next

humor to cheer up his patients in the
golden globe-nominated role patch Adams
