The fantastical, New York-set film stars Jeff Bridges as a Howard Stern-like shock jock who inadvertently inspires a listener to go on a shooting spree. Robin Williams steals the movie, though, as a man who lost his wife in the shooting tragedy -- now reduced to a raving homeless man obsessed with finding the Holy Grail. Mercedes Ruehl won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as a kooky video store owner and Williams was nominated for Best Actor.
"I remember pulling up to the boathouse where we had our party and I look out I say, "Is that Robin? Is that his ghost? No, it's Radioman." "It brought back all of these wonderful feelings of what an amazing time we had shooting 'The Fisher King.' Bridges said that, when he hugged Radioman, "I felt Robin's spirit, as I'm feeling him now in this room with us."
