The Onion A/V Club
Bobcat Goldthwait has made a career out of misdirection and defying expectations. He first came to audiences’ attention as a zany law-enforcement officer in the Police Academy movies, and his bankability there snagged him leading roles in films like Hot To Trot. Now Goldthwait is back as a director with another daring black comedy filmed in Seattle. World’s Greatest Dad stars Robin Williams as a frustrated would-be novelist who fictionalizes a diary for his hateful teenage son after he commits suicide. The AV Club caught up with Mr. Goldwaith and asked him about filming with robin Williams and opening for Nirvana.
