You mustn't lose it.” Best known for his hilarious comedic roles with masterfully improvised dialogues, Robin Williams added an underlying melancholy to his performances that’s both heartbreaking and heartwarming. He often played eccentric and loud or humble and soft-spoken characters, showing a wide range of distinctive personalities. With an unbelievable command of both comedy and drama, he poured his heart and soul into every one of his parts, with the hope of making people’s lives a little brighter.

Performance is a specialized skill, yet some performers elevate it to the level of art—sometimes, even they may not fully understand how they achieve it, as it often stems from mysterious chemical reactions in the brain.
