Williams took final film role seriously

Dito Montiel says Robin Williams sometimes goofed around on set while filming Boulevard, but the director says more often, the late actor spent the time between takes contemplating what his character would do next. “Sometimes he’d do a show for sure. That’s kind of him. Then sometimes he’s sitting there really thinking about the character,” Montiel says. “He really cared about the characters a lot.” Boulevard — which opened in New York on Friday — is Williams’ final dramatic role to be released following his death last summer. The film has yet to announce a Canadian release date.
