rusbroFavorite actor playing in a Comedy
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.

PHPaulMany 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.

Marisa Tomei was great also. Nominated for an Academy Award.
Lisa: Well, I hate to bring it up, because I know you've got enough pressure on you already. But we agreed to get married as soon as you won your first case. Meanwhile, TEN YEARS LATER, my niece, the daughter of my sister is getting married. My biological clock is

ensigmaticThere 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.

HumePeter 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.

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.
