Robin Williams Used His Films To Give Homeless People Jobs

Robin Williams used the height of his popularity to help homeless people get work on his films. The great Robin Williams committed suicide in the summer of 2014. It was a public passing that many fans and admirers still struggle to cope with. Luckily for us fans, however, Robin’s phenomenal body of work remains behind, as do the heartwarming stories about the late actor.

A fan and entertainment industry worker, Brian Lord, spoke about a rider in Robin Williams’s contract that required the production hire homeless people to work on the film. The document also contained food specifics and other requests from the actor, many of them trivial, as is common for riders in the entertainment industry. But the ever-creative Robin also saw the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the poor, and he took it.

Employment Rider Requests Help For Homeless People

Brian Lord was greatly impacted by seeing such a generous note in Robin’s rider. Brian states, “I couldn’t watch a movie of his afterward without thinking of it. You can learn a lot about a person from their rider.”

Although Brian and Robin never officially worked together, the rider was in Brian’s possession. The kindness and love that Robin personified were evident in his unusual request. Brian says, “He actually had a requirement that for every single event or film he did, the company hiring him also had to hire a certain number of homeless people and put them to work.”
