When I caught him on SNL it was like why is this smuck on SNL (oh he a star on Taxi). The World According to Garp was a dark comedy (or at least was marketed that way when it was release) so I don't classify it as Robin's first drama. Robin had to do more bad comedy movies before he was able to do drama and be thought of as serious drama lead. Jim was able to make the leap to drama faster than Robin. However both generally did  a cycle like comedy, comedy, comedy/drama, drama, and back to comedy. Jim's best work today has been "truman's show" and that had lots of comedy moments. Robin best work to date has been "One hour photo" which is scary especially when most of cast played against type.  I believe if another named actor did the movie it would have been an Oscar nomination. In the show I went to we had people leaving and not coming back. Also if Andy lived I think he would have been a has been by 1990 since most of his act was one trick pony and bad language. Gee wrestling woman and whispering foul mouth comments in not ready for prime time. So just acting the fool does not make for a great comedy.Robin, Eddie, Richard P, and others would drop their bad language for better parts.</blockquote>
