- When the life of a law-abiding engineer (Robin Williams) goes terribly wrong, he begins to challenge authority and urge others to do so as well. As a result, he kidnaps Benson and gives Stabler a choice to torture her or let her die...
Season 9, Episode 17 'Authority': When restaurant manager Dwight Lomax (guest star Scott Adsit, "30 Rock") is caught molesting a female employee, he claims that he was following orders from a "Detective Milgram" over the phone. As detectives Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) delve into the case, they discover "Detective Milgram" was a hoax by engineer Merritt Rook (guest star Robin Williams). Rook later turns his trial into a media circus by using the courtroom as a soapbox. Rook’s courtroom antics set him free, and with a group of followers, detectives Benson and Stabler fall prey to another one of Rook’s psychological schemes leaving the SVU department vulnerable.

Rest in peace, Robin Williams. The only villainous role I'd seen him play was in "August Rush", and possibly "One Hour Photo."
One Hour Photo and Insomnia are both amazing
One hour photo was his “anti-hero” performance. He was creepy and disturbed, but you felt bad for him and what he went through at the same time.
Insomnia is one of my favorites!
I loved one hour photo. Not sure the name but there was one he played a radio host …that was a chilling movie
@sweetz187 The Night Listener, I haven't seen it, but I'm intrigued
Never thought Robin Williams could be this f'ing terrifying. This was utterly haunting. Mr Williams was a brilliant man, the likes of which we'll never see again in our lifetimes.
You should watch him in the movie "One Hour Photo", another good role where he's playing against his usual type cast.
@@TheVoracity OMG that movie creeped me out.
@@feraltaco4783 It was really good. Williams not only got to play a dramatic role, but he got to be subtle with a lot of his performance. People are so used to his over the top antics that they often miss how phenomenal of a dramatic actor he could be at times.
@@TheVoracity he was an absolutely amazing actor. He was definitely able to nail different roles. That particular movie isn't one I like because I prefer to see him in lighthearted roles.
Insomnia is a good movie where he plays a twisted villain
It’s terrifying to see Robin yelling in anger instead of goofiness.
he was such a good actor.
It's like a clown wielding a gun. It's fuckin' bizarre.
Robin Williams is ICONIC. I sure miss seeing him in movies and tv shows. RIP Mr. Williams 🤧
He really is one of the best legends there ever was🧡♥️🧡♥️
I legit cried when I found out he was gone. Still tears at my heart when I see him. It's always bittersweet. I so very much wish he'd been able to get help. RIP Mr Williams. You are truly missed.
I pray he knew Jesus Christ or he's in not in a good place.
@@freyamccauley "not" in a good place? Good Lord, I hope that was a typo.
@@feraltaco4783 you read correctly. You have a problem with Jesus, not with me. God bless
His 2nd appearance in the franchise, the first being early in Homicide LOTS as a Baltimore tourist who lost his wife to gun violence. The show was hesitant to cast him as he was typecast in comedic roles, but his performance got people watching the series & boosted the ratings.
Go back and look at his filmography credits. Prior to 1994 he had completed several dramatic roles to renown. By this appearance he had proven his dramatic bonafide.
He deserved more dramatic roles. He was a comic genius and everyone loved him for it.
This role proves his capabilities as a dramatic actor.
I wouldn't say he was typecast, as he loved his comedic roles.
Robin Williams... the guy that did iconic dramatic movies in the 90's... was typecasted for comedic roles? Granted, I agree to an extent, because RV and Old Dogs are the same character, but, he wasn't typecasted.
I don't think he was typecast. He was a comedian. I think he just occasionally wanted to do something different as an actor. After his performance in this and.. what was that movie.. Good Will Hunting, maybe? Anyway, after those, I think if he wanted more serious roles he could have gotten them easily.
Whenever Robin played a comedic role, I think he was trying to make people laugh to never feel the inner pain he did. When he played these kinds of roles, I think he was letting that pain loose.
“You have no idea what I suffered” that came from a real place, even if he was playing a character. Good actors channel from their actual lives.
That's a great point. @@skyofthelivingdead
@@skyofthelivingdeadhe was channeling being played by women and the courts via divorce.
yeah.
Funniest part of the episode when they call the “waitress “ who gave her number to robin Williams , they call her and it’s just robin doing his ms doubtfire voice lol 😂
Really? That's awesome lol so did the character actually jump in the water and die?
Its exactly what I thought, I recognize it straight away as William's voice.
This is Jose backwards maybe it's called the,
A form of the actual friend like you want to put people in jail you do but the game still stay. The game of the cost of Notre Mafia they call themselves the Jamaican lottery or something like that be good for 600 murders!!
Rest in Peace to Robin Williams, A.K.A. the Genie, Teddy Roosevelt and Alan Parrish.
He was such a great actor.
Don't forget miss Doutfire and he was in flubber
@@ravenrocksdeath6662 You are golden, I was about to say this😂
Let's not forget Mork, then again I'm 51 so you may not know about that character but I fell in love with him on that show🧡♥️🧡♥️
@@ravenrocksdeath6662came here to say that! 🤣
What about him as Adrian Cronauer and Patch Adams?
When that dude died it was like losing a father. A uncle. Like someone who was always in my family for years. He played a big part in my childhood. R.I.P. Robin Williams. May you be happy in peaceful rest. Thank you for making me smile as a child when it was so rough.
An* uncle.
*an uncle. But, yes…
😢 besides the memories I have of my grandparents the good memories were all watching Aladdin and Fern Gully, then later Good Morning Vietnam and Good Will Hunting. He was beloved and I am making sure my kids get to see how funny he was. They love to wiggle around to Batty Rap.
He did it cause they were going to make him do Mrs doubtfire 3
Jim Varney was his Best friend RIP TO him to AKA Ernest AKA Slinky dog 😢😢😢❤❤❤ they both now in heaven
That was the best episode of the whole show. Wiliams' character is up there as one of the greatest TV villains.
There was another celebrity episode I particularly enjoyed that had Whoopi Goldberg as a drastically overworked child services officer
@@alexsolomon7991 Yes. Whoopi was another excellent guest star for Law & Order: SVU.
He wasn’t a villain though
He wasn’t a villain though
He wasn’t a villain though
“Went into that water cuffed, he is dead.” Whatever, the guy is still alive and has outwitted Stabler and Olivia. No body, he is still alive.
I heard there were talks of him returning on SVU, but his passing prevented that.
They were only a few seconds behind him. A better observation, Liv, would be “if he went into that water cuffed, there would be ripples from the splash still.”
@@cassidyho939 he was they one that got away
and you can definitely swim with your hands cuffed lol
@@itzSinno I think Merrit Rook is living in another country,surprised he didn't become a fugitive and have whole city looking for him like detective lake
RIP Mr Robin WIlliams. A man who most of the time made us all laugh so hard, but in this case, ALSO proves he has the chops to portray any dramatic role...FLAWLESSLY. Indeed, a man of many talents. You are missed by us all.
Or cry... Watch Fisher King.
I like how they sent an entire swat team into the guy's home and only one guy goes to the studio
Basically what happens in Silence of the Lambs
@@bencarlson4300
I was about to say this exact comment
@@theofficialretardschanneld1260 wonder how Merrit Rook took a big risk knowing stabler will shoot him, knowing he didn't like him
they didn't 'send' anyone to the studio
the instant cut is supposed to suggest she told him where he worked and Stabler went straight there alone against protocol out of fear for Benson's life
@@jackknowles5295 since stabler has angry issues,how did Merrit know he wouldn't shoot him
That whole "may i tie my shoe?' Trick always works
I've got to remember that when they come for me
It's crazy that even the good Robin Williams has played villains.
Robin William's biggest villain was mental illness and it won.
He almost played Joker in 1989's Batman, and then was the top pick for Riddler in Batman Forever. God he would have been PERFECT as the Riddler, especially after seeing this performance.
@@maxkull2899 Merrit Rook is basically Riddler
He fought against being one. I commend him for it.
The late Robin Williams gave one of the finest performances of his long illustrious career in this episode.
Absolutely brilliant!
100% agree with you on that.
Merritt Rook is probably still the only major perp on SVU to have never died or been caught.
Props to the late Robin Williams for helping craft such a memorable one-time character.
At least, if you assume he survived his plunge
@@jamiemiller1482 he committed suicide
@@drwho-hj1pu yeah the guy was saying that he didn’t die
@@jamiemiller1482 to each their own
@@drwho-hj1pu he didn't, the girl was absolutely wrong and thought that he died simply because his hands were cuffed. You can swim with your hands cuffed, and someone who has intelligence's character would have known that. Which is why he did the jump, knowing that the others would have thought he died instead of actually chasing him. Having your hands cuffed like that does not mean a death sentence, nor does it mean you won't be able to swim.
Robin should have got the EMMY for this performance. Simply BRILLIANT!!!
Nominated for it but didn’t win. He should have won!
Robin Williams’ character felt like someone who’s on his way to becoming a Gotham city supervillain 😮
Riddler
@@user-dr4yr5fu9xif I remember correctly,Williams was one of the picks for riddler in the Batman forever movie years ago
@@brandonspencer5594 That's right, but he declined, because he was still mad at Warner Brothers for using him to bait Jack Nicholson into taking the role of Joker.
He feel like more of the penguin to me
Its been quite some time since Robin Williams has passed away, and I still miss him. Brilliant, just brilliant. You can't replicate that.
10 years in 5.5 months…bet there will be a lot of him on TV that week.
Robin Williams deserved an Emmy for that award winning performance.
Indeed
People sometimes forget Robin had incredible range. Comedy obviously but also drama and suspence. Be at peace my friend. You won't be forgotten.
Talk about a memory being unlocked. I remember watching this episode when I was younger with my mom and I had no idea Robin Williams in it and it was my first time seeing him as a bad guy. Years later I find out he dies on the same day my son was born. Most of the fondest memories of my childhood involved Robin Williams and I'm grateful for that. May he rest in peace forever.
He would've made a great Riddler.
R.I.P Robin Williams 😭😭😭😭😭
I think David Tennant would be a perfect Riddler.
@@stephenking5852 I meant for Batman Forever if Tim Burton got to direct it.
I thought this too when watching this. Apparently he was in line to be Tim Burton’s riddler.
@@user-dr4yr5fu9x Yeah, wish Tim never got fired from Batman Forever
He would have made an even better Hugo Strange
One of the most timeless performances by one of the most cherished guest stars of the Law & Order universe. Thank you, Robin.
One of the best serious roles he ever played. RIP to a LEGEND!
He should have earned an EMMY for this role. He owned it, 💯 believable.
Robin The O.G.!
@@lordbisonloved his character
He had all the range. Could play the comedic guy, a loner stalker in One Hour Photo, voice act, sing, this on TV. He could do it all.
I knew Williams could play more than just funnyman roles when given a chance, and here he proved just that.
R.I.P. Robin Williams and may your next life be just as good but better than the last.
Amen to that
This short scene shows what a brilliant actor Robin Williams was and that he really could play any role.
Robin Williams was truly a legend!! He made us believe in magic in Aladdin, he taught us to think for ourselves in Dead Poets Society, he made a great president Roosevelt in Night at the Museum, and he was terrifying in this episode.
R.I.P. Robin Williams 🙏🙏🙏
Such a brilliantly talented man, truly miss him
Robin Wiliams is the one actor i really miss so much. He was always there for me in his movies and got me out from a dark place. I was devastated when he died
Rest in Peace, Robin Williams... a man whose comedic talents were known, but his dramatic roles were where he truly shined. And this role was terrifying. He could really do anything.
I love watching Law & Order videos in my spare time.
RIP Mr Williams, this was absolutely incredible. He was such a gifted, diverse actor the likes we will never see again. Thank you for sharing this.
There should be a compilation of celebrity guest stars and cameos in Law & Order
I found one - it’s a video also from this channel. Do a search for “Julia Roberts, Samuel L. Jackson and more Famous Faces Law & Order”
He brought a joy to this world that could only be matched by Steve Irwin. Losing both was humanity's greatest failure 😢
Ngl
Everybody freezing like that was pretty creepy lol
This was one of the most powerful performances I've seen by RW. What an amazing person and actor.
Looking back at that scene, it makes me incredibly curious how he got Olivia's screams on file. She had to have been hurt in some way
How do we know it was her screams? He could have recorded something from TV or a movie.
He probably told her to scream or he would hurt Elliot.
@@cassidyho939 Very true. That's exactly the character's MO.
Robin Williams. The happiest clowns are the saddest people. This does a part into the deep dive of the psychology of someone who is truely depressed. You can tell in his affect, his face and his acting that he had known pain.
So sad we did not see more of this side of his acting ability. A Master at work.
Watch Awakenings, Dead Poets Society, Goodwill Hunting; he does incredible acting performances in those.
Serious acting but not the portrayal of evil so skillfully shown.@@Lobo_Argent
@@jonathanwetherell3609 There's also "One Hour Photo" and "Insomnia"
I miss Robin soo much, I can’t belive how long we’ve had to live already without this hero
I always wanted a sequel of this storyline and a return of the same actor playing him. Also, the storyline of the RBK killer. The one that was named after the the Humphrey Bogart character and was afraid of the dark and closets. I want a sequel to that one.
Or the “psychic” guy that had been doing stuff in Montreal and then came to New York under a fake name. Sebastian or whoever it was. That actor was so good you genuinely hated him and there’s been a few perps who have pulled that off.
One of the few times we ever got to see robin williams Play a villain And when he Did do it It was a masterpiece, And in all honesty I really wish he would have done more roles like this. Like in all honesty if it wasn't for his age at the time He would have made a better Ridler than Jim Carrey did In batman forever
You are sorely missed Robin!!!! This world is a darker place without you!!! See you again when the veil lifts once more
Robin Williams was such a brilliant actor, not just comedically but dramatically as well.
I watch these L&O clips. The acting is almost always good. And then I watch the clip with Robin Williams and I experience what one of the best acting is like. In the first half of the clip he is terrifying, in the second half I sympathize with him.
This was SUCH a good episode.
One of the most talented performers to ever step on a stage.
Robin Williams,one of the greatest actors of our time ,delivered a chilling powerhouse of a performance as Merritt Rook, one of SVU's greatest villains !!!
He was truly one of a kind human no one had versatility like him
Robin Williams was a phenominal actor, played comedy and tragedy SO WELL. At first I wasn't sold on her performance in the clip, but 8:10 that's when then scene got ELEVATED from a typical antagonist monologue to to *something unique.* Love him.
This is probably my favorite Robin Williams villain role next to Insomnia
This was one of his most brilliant roles here.
And that's the end of the episode. The thing is, there's no way anybody jumped into that water! Look at it. It's almost perfectly still. The guy is still hiding in the bushes somewhere. Perfect ending for a sequel, but there was none. Shameful missed opportunity!
AI/deep fake will take care of a sequel. Probably/hopefully done by a common man and distributed underground away from NBC.
@@JamaicanRain so either they character has fled to another country and is living a new life
Robin was so gifted I'm sure the cast of Law and Order was amazed at his skills and when the camera wasn't rolling I'm sure he had everyone laughing, wish I got a chance to meet him. Rest in Power Robin
Robin Williams had RANGE as an actor - too bad too many people only saw him as a comedian. We all miss him still.
It’s why when I heard that he was lobbying hard to play Gendo Ikari in the now cancelled live action adaptation of Neon Genesis Evangelion I thought “I could see that” he could be chilling when needed
Incredible performance…rest easy, Robin. 🙏🏻♥️
Robin Williams can play an amazing villain!! In every villain role he had!
What a Legend Robin Williams is, even on a one hour Tv Show and escaped from the O.G. S.V.U team!! He will remain one of best actors of our time!!!
Robin Williams gave us so much joy. I wish his end had been peaceful. Great man. Great actor. RIP.
Robin Williams was very clever to pulled all that stunt, he was amazing actor that was also amazing tribute he will be missed
How has this clip only just been uploaded!! Best by far...
A powerful performance by a powerful entertainer. RIP Mr. Williams.
Never was a huge fan of this show but not to say it wasn't good. It was and this episode is just great. Robin Williams does a amzing job in this. I remember watching this episode when it first came out I was on the edge of my set. Great acting all around.
LOL at him being “caught” by not moving 😂
SVU definitely would've come back to this character a few years later if Robin Williams hadn't died.
One incredible episode that Robin Williams was in , it definitely shines a light on how things were and still are. Just seeing him play the part he did, he was an amazing talent this episode made me cry. He will be missed but never forgotten, May he continue to RIP🙏✨✨
RIP Robin Williams.🙏🙏🙏🙏 You really were a King.🤧🤧🥲🥲
Robin Williams was a gift to Humanity, many of hes roles defined my love for cinema.
I just watched this episode on Netflix, been years since I last saw it on TV...
I knew was gonna cry instantly the moment Merritt starts telling Elliot his unbearable loss to an unscrupulous specialist.
Art imitates reality...
Always thought comedian actors are drama experts, Robin was THE definition to it.
My tears were the same when I heard how he departed.
No man with that talent and a shiny beautiful smile deserves to suffer that way.
Thank you eternally, Robin.
I miss you every day.
❤😢
Robin Williams was such an exceptional actor... This genuinely made me cry
Even members of the jury were impressed by Robin Williams
Robin Williams was a great actor.. this was another side of his acting...besides comedy.. RIP Mr. Williams.. u are missed
One of the best episodes of that show.
Choke up when I see Robin Williams, you can see pain in his eyes in a lot of photos of him
I'm pretty sure they were just random pre-recorded screams
Ah, the ol’ sock detonator trick. Works every time.
A truly talented actor who could play any role I don't think there will be another actor like him RIP Robin Williams much love.
"He went into that water cuffed, he's dead." Flawless detective work. Now lets try some actual searching. 😂😂
Definitely one of my favorite episodes.
A f*cking legend gone way too soon
Great episode, I remember watching this with my Dad when it was first aired. Good times.
What a iconic performance, Robin Williams rest in peace.
he was truly a versatile actor. very few are as talented as he was. the only other i can think of was Alan rickman and Sir Thomas Sean Connery. there may have been a few others but i have bad memory and a headache at the moment.
Everything Mr Williams has been involved in are many of my favorite movies and times in my life. Great performances from Mork and Mindy to his last appearance. RIP Mr. Mom
"He went into the water cuffed"
Lol.
This was such a great episode!
I’m sure in between takes, he was making everyone burst into laughter.
This was one of the episodes that got me into SVU and im happy i did
one of the best episode of SVU ever
Older SVU episodes hit so hard. I miss it.
I miss Robin so much. I truly hope he has found peace ❤
I always wondered if it hadn't been for Robin Williams unfortunate death would Law and Order brought his charcater back
Assuming he survived his swim
@@MultiMackD Assuming he went into the water.
One of best episodes ever
Robin Williams was great in every movie he was in. Always extremely captivating. RIP.
Holy cow, I never knew that Robin Williams played a villainous role. What a performance.
easily the greatest dramatic actor whose obvious comedy chops constantly overshadowed his other incredible talents.
Im slowly remembering how addicted I was to this show lol
"What do you want?"
"The Fields Medal."
Robin Williams straight up playing a Batman villain. RIP my sweet prince. You are still missed. 😢
