1951 in Chicago,
Illinois) is an Academy
Award-winning American
actor and comedian. As

well (notably as
Estragon in a production
of Waiting for Godot).
His first starring
roles, Popeye (1980) and
The World According to
Garp (1982), were both
flops, but with Good

Williams was nominated
for an Academy Award and
established a screen
identity. Many of his
roles have been comedies
tinged with pathos (e.g.
The Birdcage, Mrs.
Doubtfire).
