Jake Gyllenhaal in Homicide: Life on the Street

Jake was in an episode of Homicide with Robin Willams back in 1994. Only a couple of minutes worth but he does a great job crying.

[@gillianseed909]

This show had some of the greatest writers, in its time at one point I think it even far exceeded Law & Order... such an underrated show.

[@dustinolvey8877]

Tom Fontana shows weren’t ratings winners.

[@VickiAraujoBR]

That is pure Gyllenhaal talent! Oh, my godess! Has he always been this great?

[@sarahvenable4710]

He's always been quite cute, that's for sure. He's such an adorable kid here.

[@reginaDexant]

My favorite show. I can't believe it was cancelled.

[@kingazlin]

possibly one of the best episodes of any show ever broadcast!

[@aussieguy6908]

For me, the most powerful moment, was when Robert Ellison (Williams) asked if he could hold one of the detectives revolvers. At first he denies. But after pleading and even requesting that the bullets be taken out, the Detective agrees. And when he asks why he wanted to handle the weapon, Robert answers. "I just want to know what it feels like to hold something that can take a life." Very powerful and unforgettable scene. Robins best performance, ever.

I'm impressed with both Jake and Robin WOW they are great actors!

[@briannaisblonde]

Jake Gyllenhaal is such a great actor!

[@dbag3345]

Pretty sure his dad directed this

[@12AX74Life]

You're absolutely right, The Wire is the most amazing show in TV history and it retroactively got me into Homicide.

[@xtaffy]

wow, that was a great crying scene. they both were so talented at such a young age. Jake was so cute!

[@spirittammyk]

Best show ever, IMHO. I was sad when it ended, but at least it had some sort of closure.

[@newsreach]

My goodness. These kids can act!

[@CitizenDevi]

Jake Gyllenhaal! Always been such a great actor.

[@smoooshedgum]

he's so amazing!!even when he was 10.

[@WupWup68]

Damn. :( R.I.P. Robin.

[@j.denino5732]

Robin should have done more television. RIP.

[@justinlecroy6143]

Glad he didn't. I NEVER liked him at all

[@proudbluestaterful]

williams has always been to me, a much better dramatic actor than comic. jake was great. borrowed this from the library a few weeks ago and when they said jake was in it, kept looking for a man finally dawned that he was the boy. great acting from a superbly wriiten/acted show.

[@superteach232]

This episode was INTENSE!

[@QueenJaneway]

Oh my god, he's amazing! I can't wait until his next movie!

[@mctalks]

Robin Williams is one of the best actors EVER! There aren't many who can do serious or funny with the same credibility.

[@TvGyrl]

"Bop Gun" is one of the saddest eppys of Homicide:Life on the Street

[@lenasmrs]

Jake crying while hugging Robin.

[@trinitylivingston1286]

Oh my gosh.

[@LaBizarraRomina]

Wow, Robin Wiiliams and Richard Belzer before Law and order! So awesome!

[@Julietthefrenchgreek]

JAKE!

[@Maggie028]

I agree; it was ahead of its time. If it had been on FX or HBO it might not have struggled so much for its audience.

[@tralala08x]

Ohh wow, jake was soo cute. He`s just tooo gorgeouse now. lol ! pwwoooaaarr!

[@EmeraldJEM710]

Jake looks like something out of Saved by the Bell!!!! Haha.

[@mccelt2007]

Oh wow, just too cool, and Robin Williams to boot.... one of the best shows EVER!

[@capitanfuturo594]

*R.I.P. ROBIN WILLIAMS.*

[@MJFgirl]

woah! i didnt recognize him until i read the description and saw 1994

[@eausavage]

wow Robin William here, amazing actor!And look at little Jake Gyllenhaal who plays Matt, impressed!

[@ItsDuckSandwichFilms]

HOLY SHIT I WATCHED THIS EPISODE AND HAD NO IDEA IT WAS JAKE!!! I WAS DISTRACTED BY WILLAMS PERFORMANCE BUT MAN MY MIND IS BLOWN! I WAS LIKE NO WAY ITS THE SON AND THE HE TURNS AROUND AND BOOM DONNIE DARKO RIGHT THERE AHAHAHA ALL CAPS TO EXEMPLIFY MY EXCITEMENT

[@TaNdy88tJiSmE]

omg!!! robin williams!!! wat??? cool... this made me wanna see this show even more!!! THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD!

[@icom1020]

RIP Robin

[@soniaclarkstewart]

Wow, I do remember that scene.

[@cne615]

Jake! Nice hear :D

[@trinitylivingston1286]

I'm trying not to cry after the little girl said 'they were yelling and saying bad words.'

[@BabyKitten199]

I totally remember this episode, it was so sad! I had no idea that was him until seeing it again now & Jake looks so young yet so handsome at the same time. He still looked so young in "City Slickers," it's almost hard to recognize him, but you can totally tell it's him in this clip. Look at those eyes, that's 100% Jake!!!

[@sg500]

every episode they would do a crazy camera angle to add to the intensity of the scene.Like repeating and 360 shots. I watched the show just to see what crazy angle they'd use

[@19ChAnTeUsE90]

OMG, I love Jake,I have to admit that he's not only hot but he's also talented. But that god he out grew that haircut eh?

[@marthasilviaortegagonzalez2775]

porque no está doblado al español?

[@msnumber3]

what episode and season is this??

[@Liface]

@msnumber3 This is season 2, episode 1.

[@MalASMR]

..aw....O__O

[@MovieFreak838]

wow, I'm glad he cut his hair.

[@yunasmanzoor]

Gyllenhaal? Nobody notice Robin Williams? His acting in this and other non comedy is top class

[@tigerfanfrv]

i loved that show. only cop show i like

[@chrispap4957]

Law and Order and NYPD Blue were good too...come on? No?

[@karyney]

I agree about his pronunciation of the word "blood." If there was any doubt its him (simply because you can't see his face) there ain't anymore. And Amen to him gettin' rid of that hair!

[@medium7up]

and robin williams!!!

[@dylanjordan4747]

and the emmy goes to... jake gylenhaals neck

[@vampyrellaa]

aaawww...jakey poo don't cry

[@charpyles8923]

Not to appear pervy, but Jake was cute as a kid as he is now.

[@CuriousGeorgeFloyd]

Why don't you have a seat?

[@LyricalLoki]

Nice hair *laughs* Cat -x-

[@biscotwist4194]

da qui si capiva bene che attore capace sarebbe diventato! grande Jake!

[@juannl1987]

Hoo my god! That boy is jake gyllenhaal !!!!! I rather prefer his perfomance in Brokeback mountain

[@chrispap4957]

How in God's name is that him, I looked similar to myself as a 14 yr old, he is 4 years younger than me and looks nothing like himself AT ALL

[@sarahvenable4710]

Were you born in 1976? Cause I did the math.

[@outlawwolf621]

I'm sorry-I liked Luther Mahoney- he was just the type of guy that you loved to hate.

[@andrewgraves9636]

More like a six foot turkey!

[@adamkalb1]

This was Jake Gyllenhaal's only episode so far in 35 years of his life, and his dad Stephen was the director. Can you believe it? I've been thinking about creating a The Day After Tomorrow series in the near future about Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Laura (Emmy Rossum) helping their son survive in colder climates after they move back from Mexico to Los Angeles 13 years later. Chances he'll want to settle down in a TV series 23 years after this episode. I hope I don't have to recast him for this, or otherwise it wouldn't be the same. If I really had to recast for Sam, I would pick Justin Chatwin.

[@Splinterfan]

first 6 seasons were great! didnt care too much for the 7th.

[@justinlecroy6143]

AGREED!! It sucked badly in S.7.

[@fairypoo]

terrible hair
