This, Gilliam revealed, was important not just to prevent &#8220;The Fisher King&#8221; from becoming a &#8220;bum comedy,&#8221; but vital to keeping him on his best behavior; Gilliam knew his tendency to goof around on set with someone as funny and energetic as Williams could potentially foul up production.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Working with him &#8230; I think the real reason they hired me, was that I was the bait to lure Robin in. We just worked together on &#8216;Munchausen.&#8217; I was the honey trap. That was easy. Robin was right there for the get-go. To me then the biggest thing was to make sure Robin and I didn&#8217;t float off into the ether there. We just could wind each other up brilliantly and just get extremely silly. Jeff was the anchor, that&#8217;s why Jeff was so important; he became the anchor to keep the whole film, Robin, myself grounded.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The Fisher King&#8221; was ultimately nominated for five Academy Awards, with Mercedes\u00a0Ruehl winning Best Supporting Actress for her role as Anne Napolitano. Gilliam&#8217;s filmography is loaded with spasms of fitful chaos, and his films are notorious for horrendous production troubles. &#8220;The Fisher King&#8221; seemed to nail the correct alchemy, allowing both director and actors to play well together.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Fisher King&#8221; is currently available to watch on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.hbomax.com\/feature\/urn:hbo:feature:GYddDzAwZobttMQEAAAAd\">HBO Max<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.maxgo.com\/feature\/urn:hbo:feature:GYddDzAwZobttMQEAAAAd\">Cinemax Go<\/a>, and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.directv.com\/movies\/The-Fisher-King-OFFSMENUNWp6czFXcTZQb1VjZDlLUT09\">DirecTV<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
