We've always found Robin Williams' hyperkinetic Attention-Deficit Disordered bufoonery kind of louche. If he did what he does on the stage on, say, a New York City subway car, he would, in all likelihood, be rushed to Bellvue's hospitable Mental Ward forthwith. Forthwith! But when he goes "dark" he's kind of interesting, more concentrated as a personality at least. From Moviehole:
"Q: When was the hardest time for you in your career because most of us know about the really good times which are when we see you?
"(Robin) Williams: After 'Mork & Mindy' was cancelled. I didn't even find out about that in person. I read about it in 'Variety' and I was dressed at the time as a three foot frog doing 'The Frog Prince' with Eric Idle. It was just this kind of devastating thing of like, 'Well, the ride's over. That's it. Game's done.'"
Unfortunately for us (to wit: Death to Smoochy), the game wasn't.
