Basco posted a backstage photo from the hit film to Instagram along with the caption: “I just wanted to say happy birthday to #RobinWilliams. This is a picture on the Sony lot during shooting when my brothers & cousin came to visit & we gave him a hat we made at Compton Indoor swap meet. We embroidered the name of our crew we created after watching #DeadPoetsSociety, it was the address of the garage we all lived in together growing up, “13607 1/2”. We wrote poems and raps and tried to live like they did in the movie & “suck the marrow out of life.” He’ll never know how much he’s impacted my life… O captain, my captain… You are the Pan!
