The pair co-starred in the 1989 movie Dead Poets Society, and Ethan revealed that Robin irritated him on set. He also thought Robin hated him.
Ethan said, “I thought Robin hated me. He had a habit of making a ton of jokes on set. At 18, I found that incredibly irritating. He wouldn’t stop and I wouldn’t laugh at anything he did.”
However, later on, Robin helped him land an agent.
“He called, saying, ‘Robin Williams says you are going to do really well,’” Ethan recalled.
“There was this scene in the film when he makes me spontaneously make up a poem in front of the class,” Ethan said. “He made this joke at the end of it, saying that he found me intimidating. I thought it was a joke. As I get older, I realize there is something intimidating about young people’s earnestness, their intensity. It is intimidating — to be the person they think you are. Robin was that for me.”
