RIP RW, but was he really a comedy genius and brilliant actor?

['Neg]

I just found him slightly annoying tbh.
Certainly in any comedic capacity.

when he isn't doing his schtick - One-Hour Photo and Insomnia being two movies where he is brilliantly understated and creepy

who has only ever been tolerable once in his career, in the Truman Show.

Easily up there with any of the other iconic 80s stand up shows, Raw, Delirious, Dangerous etc etc

[Luis Anaconda]

streets ahead as a comic. Can see why people might find him annoying but he was amazing when he broke through in the late 70s early 80s, particularly if you had been bought up on 70s comics in England

His TV show is about to start over here, which will be interesting.

I suspect it'll be a less funny Louie which, given Louie hasn't had a joke in it for the last two series, isn't exactly an edifying prospect.

not really in the same league as Good Morning Vietnam (or were intended to be, I suppose). Carrey is more an comic actor than a comedian. Basically I just really hated hi as the Riddler

e i'd like to punch in the face (Ace Ventura, The Mask) to an excellent actor (The Trueman Show, Man on the Moon, Eternal Sunshine).
Although a fan of Mork, I prefer Take That without Robin Williams to be honest.

long-harboured sexual fantasies from teenage years. Going from Robin Williams to Jim Carrey is mild
