You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in.” - Haruki Murakami4890713“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in.” - Haruki Murakami Williams was well-known for his performances, most notably as Alan Parrish in the 1995 film, Jumanji. The fantasy adventure film also had Kirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce in the lead roles. Dunst and Pierce were child actors in 1995, and during Jumanji’s 20th anniversary in 2020, the latter revealed how Robin defended him from the film's producers. There was a scene where the game unleashed a monsoon worldwide and Pierce was having problems since the water affected his makeup, which was needed as his character changed to a monkey. Pierce said he could not breathe, and shooting for eight days was hard for everyone, leaving them tired. However, the producers tried to finish everything by making the children work overtime, which was not allowed. Bradley stated, “Children can only be on set for a number of hours. The producers had approached our parents and said, ‘Is there any way we can do a bit of overtime to get it done.’ That’s not uncommon at all in the industry because it literally saves $100,000 (£73,000) plus to do that extra half hour rather than a whole day.” Williams learned about it and told the director, Joe Johnston, and the producers that this was impossible. He stated that they must let everybody out and they would come back next week. Bradley said that for the amount it would have cost, no one stood up like the late actor did. Moreover, he described Robin as being very warm, generous, kind, and protective. Bradley Pierce as Peter Shepherd in Jumanji Bradley Pierce portrayed Peter Shepherd, who was one of the protagonists of Jumanji. The character became shy following the demise of his parents, and Mrs. Thomas could not speak much to him. Released on December 15, 1995, Jumanji is based on Chris Van Allsburg’s fantasy children’s picture book of the same name. Although it received mixed reviews, the film grossed $262 million at the box office on a budget of $65 million. The basic premise focuses on a supernatural board game unleashing jungle-based hazards on the players. Siblings Judy and Peter Shepherd find the game and start playing it, which releases Alan Parrish, who got trapped in the game 26 years ago.
