If you'd seen the outtakes you'd see plenty of authentic Robin Williams. When Stellan Skarsgård appeared on the set of Good Will Hunting his first day, Williams did his role as Robert de Niro having sworn cast and crew to keep a straight face. It took Skarsgård a good 15 minutes before he caught on.
