Robin Williams actually worked as a mime in NY's Central Park in the mid 1970's. The prime time player working with him here is Brad Hall, who is the husband of Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

My family went to a mall once and a mime was performing. To everyone's surprise my 6 year old niece became hysterical. We asked him to break character and he finally did, but while that helped, we finally had to just pick her up and go back to the car. At home, she slept for a while, then was fine. Anyone have the same experience? Anyone know why?

With skits like this you'd think that mime would have survived of US TV, but instead the execs were happy to have killed it off with real firings.

Fun fact: Tim is Brad Hall. Debra is Julie Louis Dreyfus. They met on SNL and are still married.

I have no idea if this story is true or not but apparently Robin used to do his mime act to pay for his classes at Julliard, one day his teachers heard about it and decided to go watch his act. The next day which was actually a few weeks from when the class was supposed to graduate his teachers told him he would be leaving Julliard since they had nothing else to teach him.

It's crazy to think we know one of the people in this sketch so well, almost as if they were a family member because of their raw talent and energetic humor. Yet we have no idea who the guy playing the mime is :/

Per Billy Crystal, “Mime is money”.
