Robin Williams Eyes Return to TV in David E. Kelley Comedy

TVLine reports that Academy Award-winner and Broadway headliner Robin Williams is considering a return to the small screen and is currently in discussions to star in a new single-camera comedy from 'The Practice's David E. Kelley. The project, from 20th Century Fox TV, would be executive produced by Kelley and Bill D’Elia (Harry’s Law). According to the report, Williams would star as a "brilliant advertising executive who works alongside his daughter."

The actor recently guest starred on FX’s Wilfred and Louie. In a recent interview with TVLine, he revealed that he was definitely open to the idea of returning to TV in a full-time role. “F—in’ A, yeah, I’d do it — if it was fun," joked the comedian.

The Oscar, Emmy and Grammy Award-winning actor recently made his Broadway acting debut in BENGAL TIGER AT THE BAGHDAD ZOO. He rose to fame with his role as the alien Mork in the TV series Mork & Mindy, and later did stand-up comedy work. Among his many feature films is 1997's Good Will Hunting for which he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
