Robin Williams was good in both comedy and drama.

Will Ferrell is a love-em or hate-em actor, it seems, but he's certainly been successful, and I like him.

Also, Sacha Baron Cohen.

More TV than movies, but how about Tim Allen?

Tough choice, but I may have to go with Michael Caine in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.




I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm.

Many of the ones mentioned here, plus Burgess Meredith in the "Grumpy" movies.

I've never been able to get past the first 5 minutes of ANYTHING to do with Woody Allen.

Same goes for Will Farrell. Right up there with Al Franken in the "not even remotely funny" department.




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

There are so many, but my wife and I have probably literally laughed out loud, as in running out of breath laughing, at more Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler movies than any others.

Peter Sellers. Although the more I read about his personal life, I understand he was a tortured soul, perhaps even insane. But, wow, his performances were amazing, for instance, Dr. Strangelove.

Chevy Chase cracks me up, especially in the Vacation movies.

Yep, I like him a lot. The accounts of him being an ass-hole on the set has given me pause on his body of work.
