Jamie Costa has been doing impressions of beloved actor and comedian Robin Williams since Costa's Vine days, and his latest video has garnered over a million views on YouTube.

The 5-minute video, titled "ROBIN Test Footage Scene," was uploaded to YouTube on Monday. In the moving clip, Costa plays Williams on the set of Mork & Mindy, learning that his friend and fellow comedian John Belushi has died.

The video has had a massive fan response, but it looks like there's no biopic in the works just yet. SFist reports that the video appears "to be a publicity stunt to generate interest or (investors) in a Robin Williams movie."

We'd watch.
