Robin Williams: Unknown Facts About the Comedy Legend

His Cameo on “Friends”

He appears on the show with longtime friend Billy Crystal, but the cameo wasn’t even in the original script of “The One With The Ultimate Fighting Champion.” Apparently, Robin and Billy were in the area where NBC was filming the show, so the producers asked if the guys wanted to make a quick cameo. Billy played “Tim” and Robin, “Tomas.” Much of their dialogue was ad-libbed as well as the cast’s reaction.
