3. Robin Williams
Admittedly Robin Williams has been a hard working actor since the late sixties, and worked pretty much constantly throughout the eighties, but was in the nineties that Williams became the absolute go to guy for family comedy. Okay, so maybe he sometimes took the less high-brow roles in the likes of Jumanji and Hook, but if you were a kid at the time, chances are you fell hook line and sinker for those two movies. He was also great in Fern Gully, and who can forget his amazing, now iconic turn as the Genie in Aladdin? Then there was also his serious face, with which he won acclaim in the Fisher King, Hamlet and Good Will Hunting. Suffice to say, if youre remembering Williams from the 90s, theres a fairly good chance youve got a smile on your face for one reason or another. Throughout the noughties, Williams admittedly started strong with appearances as the lonely photo developer Sy Parrish 2002's One Hour Photo and the serial killer Walter Finch in Insomnia that same year. But throughout the noughties since then, hes appeared in so much - some of it decent but most of it pretty forgettable; Death to Smoochy, RV, Man of the Year, Night at the Museum 1 & 2, to name a terrible few - that to be honest, these days, I can take him or leave him.
