'Mrs. Doubtfire' Star Wants to Bring Back Robin Williams as the 'Voice' of AI originally appeared on Parade.
Actor Matthew Lawrence wants to bring back his Mrs. Doubtfire costar Robin Williams in an unusual way: By using artificial intelligence.
Lawrence, who played the young son of Williams in the classic 1993 comedy, opened up to Entertainment Weekly at Comic-Con on Friday about how he believes Williams should be the "voice of AI."
"I would love — now, obviously, with the respect and with the okay from his family — but I would love to do something really special with his voice because I know for a generation, that voice is just so iconic," Lawrence explained to EW.

Lawrence went on to say that he got the idea while watching old commercials starring Williams, who died by suicide in 2014.
"It's not just the fact that I knew him and worked with him and so it's in my head — it's in everybody's head," he continued. "And it would be so cool."
Lawrence, who recently competed in season 13 of The Masked Singer, elaborated on the idea.
"It's kinda like this very contemporary, modern, almost sort of foreshadowing of what's going on commercial that he did, where he did this computerized voiceover," he shared. "And it always stuck with me. And then, during his passing, with the AI coming out, I'm like, 'Man, he's gotta be the voice of A.I. He's gotta be the voice in something.' So yeah, I would love to do that."

In addition to his ideas of how to bring Williams back, Lawrence has also spoken about how much the legendary performer touched his life and guided him throughout his career.
"Robin Williams was the landmark figure in my young career," Lawrence told Page Six back in April. "Not only was he the most brilliant artist, but he was just the most compassionate, humble, good human being I've yet to work with in this business."
One of the most important lessons Williams taught him was to avoid acting in fear.
"He would say that all the time and it's so special," said Lawrence.
