Robin Williams was known to be a talent in improvisation and Mrs. Doubtfire director Chris Columbus is opening up about working with the late actor.
In a new interview to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the comedy, Columbus said that Williams improvised so much on set “We shot almost 2 million feet of film on that picture.”

The film’s director said the only way Williams would stop improvising was when they were out of film.
“It got to the point that I had to shoot the entire movie with four cameras to keep up with him,” Columbus noted. “None of us knew what he was going to say when he got going and so I wanted a camera on the other actors to get their reactions. For Pierce Brosnan and Sally Field, it was quite difficult for them not to break character.”
Back in the 1990s, Columbus said that Williams shot down the possibility of a sequel to the comedy. However, a year before Williams died, they
