#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

Based on my knowledge at the time of the film's 2006 release, the most famous actor in "Night at the Museum" was likely Robin Williams. While Ben Stiller was already a well-known comedic actor, Robin Williams had a more established career with a broader range of roles and a higher level of critical acclaim at that point. Here are some of Robin Williams' other notable films prior to 2006: * Good Morning, Vietnam (1987): A critically acclaimed comedy-drama showcasing Williams' improvisational comedic talent. * Dead Poets Society (1989): A beloved and iconic film where Williams played an unconventional English teacher. * Aladdin (1992): Williams provided the voice of the Genie, a role widely praised for its humor and energy. * Mrs. Doubtfire (1993): A highly successful comedy where Williams played a father who disguises himself as a nanny to spend time with his children. * Good Will Hunting (1997): This film earned Williams an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. * Jumanji (1995): This movie was a box-office success.

Owen Wilson was also a major star in the film at the time.

Wilson was at the height of his fame in 2006 (Wedding Crashers, Cars) and played a prominent supporting role.
