He wasn't a top tier actor?
I'd say he was up there
Well, in general, his best performances were portrayals of a specific type of character he portrayed in many movies. I wouldn't label him as "very one-dimensional" like Tredecim did, but I agree with him that Robin Williams rarely seemed to feel comfortable in roles that were out of his standard character.
Also the fact that he was in sooooo many movies, the majority of which were garbage (specially over the last 15 years or so), doesn't help his case either.
That's why I considered him a good actor, but not among the best. I also have to say though, that there aren't many actors I label as top tier.
