Mork & Mindy Fans Honor Robin Williams

Williams first reached fame playing Mork on Mork & Mindy, a role he originated in a two-episode arc on Happy Days. Though Williams went on to have a prolific career in both film and stand-up, winning an Oscar for Good Will Hunting, fans have created a memorial for the beloved actor in front of the Mork & Mindy house in Boulder, Colo.

“Robin was hands-down a comedy genius and one of the most talented performers I have ever worked with in television or film…I will forever be in awe of his timing, his talent and his pure and golden creativity…. He was my friend and it is rare that you ever have a friend that is also a genius,” Marshall said in a statement.

Williams’ The Crazy Ones co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar also released a statement honoring her TV dad, calling him “the Father I had always dreamed of having.”

“My life is a better place because I knew Robin Williams. To my children he was Uncle Robin, to everyone he worked with, he was the best boss anyone had ever known, and to me he was not just an inspiration but he was the Father I had always dreamed of having. There are not enough adjectives to describe the light he was, to anyone that ever had the pleasure to meet him. I will miss him every day, but I know the memory of him will live on. And to his family, I thank them for letting us know him and seeing the joy they brought him. Us crazy ones love you. God, grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference,” reads Gellar’s statement.

The Crazy Ones castmember James Wolk and guest-star Josh Groban were also among Williams’ recent co-stars to remember him on Twitter.
