10 Years Memoriam: Robin Williams

Yesterday, the 11th of August, marked 10 years since the death of American actor and comedian, Robin Williams, who passed away in 2014, aged 63. He was known for his versatile acting, creative voice acting, ad-libbing and improv. 10 years after his death, Robin Williams is still regarded as one of the greatest comedians ever. 

His career began as a stand-up comic in the 1970s, eventually releasing several comedy albums. His big break in television was as an alien who settles on Earth in the "Happy Days" spinoff, "Mork and Mindy", co-starring Pam Dawber. He made his film debut in the 1980 musical movie, "Popeye", co-starring the late Shelly Duval. Though he appeared in many family comedies, notably "Mrs Doubtfire," "Jumaji", "Hook" and  "Flubber" and famously voiced the jovial genie in "Aladdin", Fender in "Robots" and  Batty Koda in  "FernGully: The Last Rainforest", Williams  also appeared in dramas such as "Patch Adams", "Awakenings", "Dead Poets Society", "Good Morning Vietnam" and had darker roles in "The Fisher King", "One Hour Photo" and "Insomnia." 

During his career, he accumulated several awards and nominations,  including a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for "Good Will Hunting", a Best Actor Golden Globe for "Good Morning Vietnam" and a Special Golden Globe Award for Vocal Work in a Motion Picture for "Aladdin". He made a guest appearance in Law and Order: SVU in 2008 in the episode, "Authority" and appeared as himself in Saturday Night Live in 2010.
