Robin Williams is a vastly superior Shakespearean trained actor while Carey is a comic (and not a funny one) who trots out a series of absurd facial expressions and talks out his ass kind of idotic humour. He did not manage to get away from himself in The Truman Show - probably the best film he's been in (at least of the one's I've seen) and mimicking Andy Kaufman is hardly a testimonial to acting ability though I grant his mimmickry was good.Robin Williams interestingly enough is far better as a dramatic actor than in any comedic thing he's done. His Personae may get in his way a little bit but big deal the same can be said for any major actor like say Jack Nicholson. Fame is a double edge sword. Williams is a household name and face and one does not escape that when on film. Nevertheless, Williams has managed to shut his mannerisms down in films like:
Moscow on the Hudson
The World According to Garp
Awakenings
Good Will Hunting
The Fisher King
One Hour Photo
Good Morning Vietman (which is part over the top rightly so)Unfortunately he always manages to shmaltz it up in crapfests like Patch Adams which will make any viewer a diabetic.
Most films that are bad are rarely the result of the actor - even Keanu Reeves has been in some movies that were pretty decent despite him being in them.
