I wonder how many times a day mr. Williams needs to shave.
Not in the same category as Mr. Williams, but I remember being surprised at the amount of body hair on Patrick Stewart during a topless shot in I, Claudius . Not the plucked, shaved and oiled Captain Picard of later years.
In the hairy but still good looking category I nominate Pierce Brosnan.
I’ve only seen him with his clothes off in “The Piano,” but I seem to recall Harvey Keitel being a hairy guy. And his body is almost as oddly-shaped as Robin Williams’ (but not quite). I can’t find a photo online, though.
You can get a good eyeful of his ample front hair if you see the movie Mrs. Henderson Presents - and a lot more, besides.
Cousin it.
I think even Robin Williams would happily claim the title of Hairiest Actor, any further discussion should be about who’s the second hairiest.
I remember a People (or a similar magazine) article about Williams back in his Mork heydey and a picture that showed him from behind walking down the beach with his wife. He was wearing shorts which he hiked up over his buttcheeks. The hair never stopped or even thinned out in the buttockal region.
Has anyone ever noticed how the work hirsute sounds like hair suit?
GOLDURNIT! Now if I say Lon Chaney Jr., it won’t be as funny, or even original, just anticlimactic.
Oh, the hell with it. Lon Chaney Jr.
King Kong
In the scenes in *Garp * where Williams plays a teenager, at one point he gets into a little semi-naked tryst with the neighbor girl. He takes off his shirt and he’s hairless- I always wondered what he went through to look like that, considering the natural sweater he’s saddled with.
Jeremy Piven.
Are you sure that wasn’t a double? It was a pretty distant shot.
Good question. Somehow I think every inch is him, though. I’ll go over to IMDB trivia and see if they reveal the hard truth.
Nothing at IMDB trivia, but at about.com, there’s an interview with Mr. Hoskins in which he confirms that you are seeing the real Bob, hairy front, “ol’ wrinkly”, and all.
As a side comment, I once saw Robin Williams on a show when he was promoting Hook. He mentioned that they’d had to shave his arms for the movie, and he referred to himself as a “human Chia pet”.
Slight hijack: Didja know Jamie Farr was in No Time for Sargeants? Check out his page on the IMDB. He was in his 50’s when he was in MAS*H.
Kelsey Grammer is another hairy chest, not so much on top guy.
I am really surprised that Ron Jeremy has not been mentioned yet. Or do Dopers not want to admit that they have seen his work?

I vote for Gossamer.
That’s “Cheeta”, for the correct spelling, Bob! 
And he’s still alive!
