definitely Tom Hanks (as previously mentioned)

Yeah, it's tough to see Keaton as Batman, after a role like he had in "The Other Guys".

Does Al Franken count? He wasn't very good at either.

A lot of actors do both ~ don't think they are "switching".

I was just mentioning this to my wife, earlier: Jennifer Aniston. I only ever saw her in one non-comedy role before and hated the movie. (Assumed it would be a comedy, a la Along Came Polly. Nope.) Now she's starring, along with Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell, in an Apple TV+ original drama, The Morning Show, and she's kicking ass in the role.
