Good comedy film are few and far between. I always enjoy watching Walter Matthau in these roles. Grumpy Old Men and Cactus Flower were memorable. Who are yours? | ||

Always liked John Candy. So many I could let my kids watch with me. Uncle Buck comes to mind. ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | |||

Another vote for John Candy. But, Gene Wilder is right up there with him. Ken | |||

Until I think about it more, I'll throw James Garner out there. I won't include Woody Allen who made so many strong films, all of which would have been better without him in them. Except maybe "Zelig", the one perfect role made for him by him. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

I'd add Jim Carrey, some of his facial movements during his comedy routines cracked me up, Mask, playing Ace Ventura Pet Detective, etc Regards, Will G. | |||

John Cleese. I think I've seen everything he's been in, but still, if I see a movie or series episode with him in it, I'll be tuning in. Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves. -D.H. Lawrence | |||

I gotta go with Bill Murray. Stripes, Caddyshack, Groundhog's Day, Ghostbusters... Rodney Dangerfield is a close second. Caddyshack (again), Back to School... I gave it to Bill because of the larger volume of work. ------------------------------ "They who would give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin "So this is how liberty dies; with thunderous applause." - Senator Amidala (Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith) | |||

No worries! |
Another John Candy fan here, he was one of the funniest guys ever. Even though they have had some critical flops, the Broken Lizard troupe, especially Jay Chandrasekha always know how to get me laughing. | |||

That Asian guy in The Hangover movies cracks me up. | |||

Somewhat confused here. Are we looking for a dramatic actor that can pull off comedy or a primarily comic actor? Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

John Cleese is one of the all-time great comedians in my book. He does deadpan better than most anyone. I'm sure there's probably film somehwere of him losing it during a skit, but so far, nothing comes to mind. I'll also second John Candy, and Peter Sellers. I can't watch anything they were in without a good laugh. I think the world would be a bit better place if John Candy were still around. ______________________________________________ Endeavoring to master the subtle art of the grapefruit spoon. | |||

Sellers was genius. Currently, George Clooney can be very good in a comedy. Bill Murray. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Bill Murray and John Candy top my list. Right behind them are John Belushi and Chris Farley. Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago. | |||
