It might be the best performance we never get to see.
Robin Williams is a true icon who tragically took his life back in 2014 and in the years since, a man named Jamie Costa has made a name for himself for his Robin Williams videos.
Well this one may just have them all beat. It is a test footage from a potential Robin Williams biopic.
The 5 minute scene features Acosta as Williams in 1982 learning about his friend, John Belushi’s death.
Costa gets the nuance of the role brilliantly, you will feel like you are watching Robin himself.

The video has gone viral, with just about every comment saying that he would not only get the movie made from this video, but he deserves an Oscar for his performance.
While an Oscar may be a stretch for now, there is no arguing he plays the part perfectly.
