After the shocking and heart-wrenching news that Robin Williams is no longer with us, we decided to pay tribute to Robin by ranking his top 10 acting moments. Robin was always known as a genius comedian and rightfully so, but his acting prowess should never be overlooked nor forgotten. When talking about his friend Christopher Reeve who had passed away, Robin once said, “May flights of angels sing thee to thy sleep sweet prince.” We wish the exact same thing for Robin. He will always be missed, but never forgotten. May he rest in peace.
