Robin McLaurim Williams born in Chicago 1951, American actor and comedian. His rise to fame was as an alien called Mork, in the TV series, “Mork and Mindy”.  Mork was from planet Ork and used to greet people with his greeting, “Na-nu… Na-nu” and then when things went wrong, “Shazbot” was his swear word…

Robin Williams went on to act in many films, winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in ‘Good Will Hunting’ , three Golden Globe awards and 3 Grammy awards.

Three of his best movies stand out for me – Dead Poets Society, Good Morning Vietnam and Mrs Doubtfire.  He is also known for his stand up comedy, this skit on golf, really cracks me up…

Many people dont realise that Robin Williams is also an avid gamer, playing role playing games and online video games.  He even named his daughter after Princess Zelda, from the video game ‘The Legend of Zelda’!
