Robin Williams’s half-brother, Robert Williams, is reported to have appeared in Mrs. Doubtfire (1993). The claim that it was Robert’s only acting role comes from an AOL article published February 22, 2026; the official film records cited here do not establish his complete acting history.

Which movie did Robin Williams’s brother appear in?

The movie identified in the AOL article is Mrs. Doubtfire, the 1993 comedy-drama starring Robin Williams. The article identifies Robert Williams as Robin’s half-brother and reports that he appears in the film.

That appearance and the claim that it was Robert’s only acting role should be understood as the article’s report. The American Film Institute Catalog entry and the official 20th Century Studios page provide film information, but neither establishes a complete list of Robert Williams’s acting credits. The studio page’s short cast list does not name him; that omission by itself cannot confirm or rule out a small or uncredited appearance.

What is Mrs. Doubtfire about?

Robin Williams plays Daniel Hillard, an unemployed actor who loses custody of his three children. To spend more time near them, he disguises himself as Mrs. Doubtfire, an elderly British nanny hired by his ex-wife, played by Sally Field.
