New York Post:

ROBIN Williams might dig up his "Mrs. Doubtfire" drag and play Susan Boyle in a movie about the Scottish spinster who became a sensation on "Britain's Got Talent." "I've been asked if I want to play Susan in the movie," Williams told Britain's Telegraph. "I think she's incredible."

Mrs. Doubtfire was the only Robin William's film that I liked tho I love the guy as a stand-up comedian. I'm thinking a Williams' take on Susan Boyle might just be fun.

Robin is funny but he better watch out for the caffiene and his heart condition... I think he needs to spend a week or 6 weeks with Dean Ornish or he willl burn and fade.....

Hey, Mrs. Doubtfire was a big hit.

Hollywood has come up with wackier ideas, like putting Dane Cook in movies!

What an insult to the lady. Get a life Robin Williams!

NO NO NO, please don't let this happen.

Susan has suffered enough ridicule, bad jokes and people making fun of her.
Don't let it continue with Robin Roberts; there are many many good actresses to play her role.

I would NEVER go to see the movie with Robin Roberts in the role; he is a good comedian.
However, Susan's life is more tragedy than comedy. It is certainly NOT a joke.

Thanks for the correction.
As I was typing the name, I felt it didn't sounds quite right, and it wasn't.
SENIOR moment; however my comment remains the same.

Naturally I'm rooting for this to happen . . . the physical similarities are striking.

great...make fun of her appearance ALL OVER AGAIN...so NO ONE will take her seriously (she'll forever be known as that unattractive/funny looking lady who can sing)...people will constantly focus more on her looks than her voice...i can assure you, it won't be a drama!

just downright cruel

I never had problem with her looks. It's her voice I don't care for. It's just a matter of taste, I guess.

"Just downright cruel." You are right to point that out.

Where is the man's newly restored heart? Hope he listens to it.

This is such a bad idea. This could and would go so
very wrong so easily.
For pity's sake Robin....Are you only about the $$$$?
You are so much more talented than that.

I love Robin Williams in drag. Seems like a lot of people here don't like him, in or out of drag. I must say though, I don't know too many other comedians who can ad lib like him these days.

for me it is not about him being in drag , it is about how they are making fun of Susan Boyle.. Just taint right..
