16. Alan’s Family Life Reminded Robin Of His Own Family!
As mentioned above, Robin Williams saw a lot of himself in the character of Alan Parrish.
Alan and Sarah…
What he also identified with was Alan’s relationship with his family, as he felt it mirrored his own.

Fortunately, (like we touched on briefly) Robin’s father was much more compassionate than Alan Parrish’s.
Family is important…
In an interview back in 1995, Robin Williams opened up more about the relationship he shared with his father.

He said:
“The wonderful thing about [my dad] is he would never force me to do anything … because something had happened early in his life where he didn’t want that to happen to me. He had to give up a dream,”
Young Alan…
The star finished by saying:
”When I found something I loved, [my dad] saw that … That’s what makes it nice, when you can connect on that level.”
