    Default Best Comedic Actor?

    who's your favorite?


    there have been lots of greats, but if i have to pick just one i've gotta go with john candy. . . not only was he hilarious, but he was in some truly classic comedies. . .

    i'll be interested to see how closely responses break down along generational lines. . .

    Umm ..... uh .... err....

    Well I do like the Three Stooges and Charlie Chaplin.

    Don't much care for modern comedies though. There are a few good ones now and again. But not that many.

    John Candy was a good one.

    Heath Ledger was not a comedian. He was a serious actor.

    That's a hard question! I like Chevy Chase, Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker together..funny together.

    Damn, so many to choose from.

    In movies, it used to be Eddie Murphy earlier in his career with the 48 Hours, Beverly Hills Cops (I & II), Coming To America, Trading Places and The Golden Child. He had more hits early than he did later in his career. Today, I gotta go with Will Ferrell. Everything he does cracks me up.

    For television, I have to go with Ed O'Neil's Al Bundy, before the 1992's season. I don't watch much TV today so all I can think of is Kelsey Grammer. Honorable mentions go to Redd Foxx, Robert Guillaume and Carroll O'Conner.

    Jim Carey makes me laugh, Ace Ventura still kills me. Farley was hilarious as someone else mentioned.

    I agree with DS, early days of Murphy were great too.
