Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz! From his rapid-fire stand-up comedy riffs to his breakout role in Mork & Mindy, Robin Williams was a singularly innovative and beloved entertainer. He often came across as a man possessed, holding forth on culture and politics while mixing in personal revelations – all with impulsive, tongue-twisting intensity as he inhabited and shed one character after another with lightning speed. In Good Will Hunting he gave an intense and controlled performance that revealed the true range of his talent. David Itzkoff shows how Williams struggled mightily with addiction and depression with a debilitating condition at the end of his life that affected him in ways his fans never knew.
