Robin Williams' big break

We all know the late Hollywood icon for his iconic roles in films like 'Mrs. Doubtfire', 'Good Morning Vietnam' and 'Good Will Hunting', and as the voice of the Genie in 'Aladdin'.

However, it's a lesser-known fact he actually got his big break portraying the alien space traveller Mork in the 1978 episode 'My Favorite Orkan'.

He charmed Gary Marshall with his quirky sense of humour and went on to bag a spin-off called 'Mork and Mindy', which co-starred Pam Dawber (Mindy), which ran from 1978 to 1982.
