Some people can’t believe in themselves until someone else believes in them first
Sean Maguire (Robin Williams) in the moving drama Good Will Hunting (1997), which won an Academy Award for the screenplay, as well as for Best Supporting Actor for the much missed Williams.
Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.
John Keating (Robin Williams) in the inspirational film Dead Poet´s Society (1989).
This is dreadfully sad to write. I’ve read a lot of wonderful tributes to a man who could do pretty much anything on screen. From as long as I can remember watching films seriously, Robin Williams was always there. Whether he was playing an inspirational professor, a devoted father posing as a British nanny, a rebellious DJ or two very different Presidents of the USA, Williams could bring anybody to life with warmth, energy and compassion. And that’s without saying how funny he was, or how his range even extended to playing sinister and creepy villains. The world will miss both his outrageous acting talent and wonderful nature off it.
Below are 12 different Robin Williams images from different films that capture his incredible ability. I wanted this tribute to be all in one post and Limiting it to six just wasn’t an option. Unlike with the other film quizzes in this set, there are no difficult photographs. It is really more about looking back on a wonderful career.
