Though not a primary role, he was great in Driving Miss Daisy. -- I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. JALLEN 10/18/18 https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...610094844#7610094844 | |||

I know he's been mentioned - Robin Williams. Once he did a "serious" character I was impressed. Somewhere between "Patch Adams", "One Hour Photo", and (as I recall) once on that Special Victims Unit show. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Steve Martin took a serious role in Grand Canyon. John Travolta went from Welcome Back Cotter to mostly serious movie roles. Lily Tomlin was known as a comedic actress, I think until the supposedly god-awful romantic movie Moment by Moment (which co-starred Travolta). I could be wrong, but I think Chris Pratt was known for Parks and Rec, but has had some serious movie roles, such as 2 Jurassic Park flicks, and Passangers. | |||

Dragnet. Interestingly, in the 1991 film adaptation of Flight of the Intruder, the original court martial scene included Ed O’Neill as the flag officer that ran the Court martial proceedings. The test audiences began to laugh as “Admiral Bundy” walked into the court room. The scene was reshot with another actor in the role. | |||

Dragnet is Jack Webb and Harry Morgan. Just the facts maam just the facts.. Putting Ed Oneil in that role was just stupid. | |||

^^^^^ Yep. Forget the name of the movie, but he played the role very well of a Coked up addict. Almost too believable.. | |||

Ed O'Neill's had more serious roles than not. He worked a number of years before Married with children. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

Adam Sandler is the most recent to come to mind. | |||

Though he certainly still has some humorous scenes, I'd say Bob Odenkirk in Better Call Saul. _________________________ Their system of ethics, which regards treachery and violence as virtues rather than vices, has produced a code of honour so strange and inconsistent, that it is incomprehensible to a logical mind. -Winston Churchill, writing of the Pashtun | |||

Kristen Wiig from SNL is a very busy actress. Many here will have seen her in The Martian. | |||

He was the buddy that couldn't go on the mission with Christopher Walken and Tom Berenger in Dogs of War. A very underrated war movie, and one that gives pretty solid insight to old school mercenary work. | |||

Jeff Daniels comes to mind He obviously has done dumb and dumber And was Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain in Gettysburg (and superb in the role) He seems to move fairly seamlessly between the genres —————————————————— If the meek will inherit the earth, what will happen to us tigers? | |||

The movie was Clean and Sober. Incredible performance but depressing story. | |||
