Robin Williams One Minute Tribute Generates Over 2 Million Views

by Paul Cashmere on August 16, 2014

in News

A one-minute video tribute to Robin Williams put together by Irish ad agency ModernGreen has generated over 2 million YouTube views in a few days.

The video, based on a Williams’ dialogue from Dead Poet’s Society and featuring footage from ‘Hook’ starts with Williams saying “please, don’t worry so much, because in the end none of us have very long on this Earth.”

The short video articulated what many Robin Williams were thinking when they heard of the news of the death of one of the greatest actors and comedians of the past century.

Robin Williams didn’t act comedy, he was comedy. Comedy has just natural to him.

Williams got his start as Mork in the 70s sitcom Mork and Mindy. This one time piece where he talks about losing a friend has also been a viral hit this week.

Mork also made a few appearances in ‘Happy Days’. Here he meets The Fonz:
