“You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.” – Robin Williams
You know who Robin Williams is, and so you also know that Robin Williams is funny and intelligent. He can make you laugh and think at the same time. This isn’t something that you can learn to do, it’s an ability that you are either born with, or you aren’t. Robin Williams was born to do roles that make people feel happiness, joy, loneliness, sadness, anger, and curiosity; all at the same time. He is one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood.
This caricaturist is honored to present the caricature of Robin Williams.
Robin Williams Tiniest Biography on the Web
Robin Williams was born in the family of a Ford Motor Executive about 60 years ago, in 1951. Unlike many other Hollywood actors, he didn’t start acting until he grew up. In fact he had a perfectly normal childhood and…believe it or not…he even completed the four years of college!
He played the part of Mork (the alien from Ork) in the TV series Happy Days and later, Mork and Mindy, and this was his first acting assignment. One thing led to another, and Robin Williams moved through tv sitcoms and standup comedy into Hollywood. While he started working in films, in the late seventies, it wasn’t until 1987 that he did Good Morning Vietnam for which he won an Oscar Nomination, and through which he won this caricaturist’s respect.
Some Robin Williams Movies
- Good Morning Vietnam
- Dead Poets Society
- Awakenings
- Hook (He’s absolutely lovable as a grownup Peter Pan:))
- Aladdin (he’s the genie in this one…once again, a fantastic performance)
- Mrs. Doubtfire
- Good Will Hunting (A fantastic movie about channeling genius and you are bound to love Robin Williams in his role as an atypical psychologist)
- Patch Adams (nothing needs to be said about this movie – right?)
- What Dreams May Come (This movie won no acclaim – but its concept keeps you suspended between this world and the other.)
- One Hour Photo (In absence of a clear storyline, I think I must’ve watched this movie only because of Robin Williams – yet I loved it, because of Williams’ acting prowess.)
Robin Williams, a Graphic Designer, and an Addiction
Well…well. This is the first time that I’ve read about one of our kinds getting up and close with a Hollywood celebrity. Robin William’s newest wife (the third one, the one who he married in 2011) is, trust me and more so trust Wikipedia, a Graphic Designer!
Another point to note is that he “had” a cocaine addiction in the eighties, then he was sober for about two decades, but he succumbed to it once again (in the mid 2000s.) While I can understand his addiction to a Graphic Designer (we are naturally interesting people,) I can’t understand why Robin Williams, with all his fame, wealth, and…wives, was addicted to cocaine?!
Before I end this post, I must tell you what he has to say about politicians (especially because I’ve been watching the Presidential debates that’ve recently begun to transform into duels.)
“Politics: “Poli” a Latin word meaning “many”; and “tics” meaning “bloodsucking creatures”. – Robin Williams”
Ouch!
If you too like Robin Williams, leave a comment…more later!
Hello, I stumbled upon your art work of Robin Williams while doing research on Caricatures to focus on for my main project for a class I’m talking at the University I am attending. If at all possible could I get some insight of why you created this image? And if all possible could I use this for my class research paper, We are in the process of making a Exhibition on Fame. I choose your work because of the memories I have from Robin Williams. I want to show what fame does to you as a person, but also as the viewer. Looking at you’re other works, I admire your talent. You’re help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you much!

That’s a great likeness of Robin Williams…….thanks Shafali…….someone who can make people laugh without really trying…..and yet make the same people cry too because of a character he has portrayed. One of my favorite movies of his is Mrs. Doubtfire as he is hysterical in it. Whenever I want a good laugh, I get out the VHS tape and pop it in the machine to watch. I hope my VHS player lasts. If I remember correctly, he had a serious health scare a few years ago….heart problems, I believe….here’s hoping he lives a long happy life…..the world needs all of the laughs it can get…….

Thanks Nancy. I agree. I am a Robin Williams fan too. His ability to emote through his face and voice, is unparalleled. Will you believe me when I tell you that I haven’t see Mrs. Doubtfire…it’s on TV these days, and I am dying to watch it…but there are things that need to be done before I treat myself to that movie.
