Robin Williams, comedian, TV, movie star, comedy recording artist, theater star, was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1951. After briefly studying political science before enrolling at Juilliard to study theatre, Robin started to perform in night clubs where he was discovered for the role of Mork on an episode of "Happy Days" and the subsequent "Mork and Mindy" TV series. Williams' wild comic talent involves a great deal of improvisation, following in the footsteps of his idol, Jonathan Winters. Although known chiefly for his unique ability to make people laugh in comedy films including: Flubber, The Birdcage, Mrs. Doubtfire, Popeye, Good Morning Vietnam, Hook, Toys, Aladdin, Father's Day, Robin has also starred in some very serious dramatic film roles such as Hamlet, Dead Poets Society, The World According to Garp, and What Dreams May Come, to name a few. Robin's role, in the Miramax motion picture Good Will Hunting, had him playing a college professor-turned-therapist with an admiration for the emotional struggles of Will Hunting (played by Matt Damon). For this he won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. He has won Academy Award nominations, received several Golden Globe Awards, has won four Grammy Awards (for his comedy recordings), Emmy Awards for TV, and many other awards and honors. Anyone who has ever watched Robin Williams knows of his great talent. His first job was that of a street mime. Some of his other major talents are impersonation, doing strange weird voices and sounds, and improvisation. Robin is one of the most brilliant comedians of our time and has devoted much of his energy doing work for charities such as for "Comic Relief", an annual benefit to aid the homeless, broadcast on HBO.
