Aside from standup, Williams was a phenomenal actor too. His acting career was incredible. He won Academy Awards for Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society. Robin Williams also has funny movies like Mrs. Doubtfire and Night at the Museum. I chose Robin Williams because if I am in prison i don’t want to sit around bored all day.

Grandmaster Flash, born Joseph Saddler, began spinning records as a team growing up in the Bronx.

The reason why I liked Harold Lloyd more than the other two actors is due to the way that he made me laugh. His persona was a character that was easy to relate to and that made him seem real. It felt like I was watching a hidden camera television show that was focusing on a random person on the street that happened to have an unfortunate series of events happen to him. Whether that be, his girl coming to visit him at a job that he lied about having, or the fact that during the time that he’s guarding his girl’s father’s horsecar that he had to defend it against a group of bandits that want to keep it from running. Even though these events wouldn’t be considered funny if it happened to you, it was entertaining to watch Lloyd’s persona handle them in a way that seemed to be a little outrageous.
