Jeff Bridges' Career
Columbia Pictures / Everett Collection
An Odd Couple
In Terry Gilliam's urban fantasy The Fisher King (1991), Bridges plays a cynical, arrogant radio host who becomes suicidal after his insensitive on-air comments lead a depressed caller to commit murder. Bridges earned rave reviews for maintaining his straight character against his co-star, the manic and unconventional Robin Williams, who as a deluded homeless man helps Bridges' character find redemption.
