Eric McClanahan is a writer from a small town in SouthEast Texas. Growing up on a steady diet of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Animaniacs, his brain is little more than sugar cereal now. He's been writing about film since 2018 and has interviewed over 70 creatives, including a "UFO Disclosure Activist.
Robin Williams is remembered as one of the most versatile and beloved performers of all time, and even now, ten years after his passing, he's still cared about as much as ever. From his beginnings in stand-up comedy to portraying a fish-out-of-water alien on TV’s Mork & Mindy, it was clear from the get-go that he was unlike any of his contemporaries.
Robin Williams Played Villains in Movies Like 'Insomnia' and 'One Hour Photo' Close When those aforementioned roles failed to have the desired effect of dramatic acclaim, Robin Williams broke bad, leaning into truly villainous roles. In 2002 alone, he turned in three groundbreaking performances, as murderer Walter Finch in Christopher Nolan’s Insomnia, stalker Sy Parrish in One Hour Photo, and sociopath Rainbow Randolph in Danny DeVito’s dark comedy Death to Smoochy.
Most damning of all, however, is the dark cloud of Lance's foul-mouthed, perverted, insensitive, and all-around contemptible son, Kyle. Director Goldthwait seems to take great pleasure in ruining childhoods, not only tarnishing our remembrances of Aladdin by casting Williams but also ruining Spy Kids, as well, by casting Daryl Sabara as the reviled son.
Robin Williams' Character in 'World's Greatest Dad' Is All Too Human To distill the humanity of Williams’ performance in World's Greatest Dad, one needs to look at one unlikely scene. The overall theme of the film is the revisionist gloss we use to paint over the legacy of those we lost, and the corners we paint ourselves into with the little lies that bring us comfort in our darkest times.
