Is the uber-talented Robin Williams back to being uber-talented? According to the Hollywood Reporter, he'll reprise one his most famous roles, Mrs. Doubtfire (and the forgotten Daniel Hillard), in a sequel to the 1993 hit.

Where has the career of Robin Williams gone? I blame Hollywood for the fact that he hasn't appeared (in voice and body) in a meaningful film since the early 2000's, when he starred in semi and cult hits "A.I. Artificial Intelligence," "One Hour Photo," "Death to Smoochie," and "Insomnia" (underrated thriller with Al Pacino) from 2001 to 2002. Even that period was outside the window of Williams' prime that, for me*, began with 1989's "Dead Poet's Society," hit "Hook," "Aladdin," "Mrs. Doubtfire," "Jumanji," Jack," "Flubber," and ended either at 1997's "Good Will Hunting" (for which he won an Oscar), or "Patch Adams" a year later, depending on your tastes. Yes, Williams used to be the best.

Today, he's the star of the questionable sitcom, "The Crazy Ones." The strangest part about Williams is he's probably almost as good as he used to be; he just hasn't been in anything truly worth seeing. 2007's "August Rush" was good, but Williams had only a small (but important) role. Two years later, Williams starred in the black comedy, "World's Greatest Dad," whose plot synopsis is deserving of an R-rating in itself. It was also pretty good, but stuck in the indie genre that requires excellence for recognition.

Somewhat ironically (like ESPN's Bill Simmons, I'll never argue for full irony), the original "Mrs. Doubtfire" was about a comedian more talented than successful. Once in the disguise of an old lady, his improvisational powers came to life. By the end of the movie, he'd blend his nanny persona and budding comedic career into a television show.

Before "Doubtfire 2," or whatever it will be called when it releases (not any time soon), Williams will star in at least five more movies, two of which are already finish filming. Later this year, he'll play serious roles in "Boulevard" and "The Angriest Man in Brooklyn" and then comedic ones in "Merry Friggin Christmas" and "The Night at the Museum 3." In 2015, its back to animation with "Absolutely Anything."

*I probably missed a few good ones and named a few bad ones.
