<p>By Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole

<p> Being on the streets is no joke to Robin Williams. A
co-organizer of Comic Relief, the charity laugh-a-thon that aids
the homeless, he has joined the ranks of the destitute. It's not
for real, but for reel: in a new film, The Fisher King, he's a
history professor who lands on Manhattan's Skid Row. During one
scene, rats were scurrying around, and, says Williams, "they
weren't Hollywood stunt rats. They were real ones who say, `I
just ate a cat. Now I want to finish off a dog.'" In New York,
even rats have attitude.
