Thread: Best Comedic Actor?

I forgot Robin Williams...but I like his stand up more than his acting.

No one has mentioned John Beluchi. (sp)

I can't believe I forgot Vince Vaughn (I love that guy)!!!
I love John Candy also ( Great Outdoors).
John Belushi (classic Animal House, Neighbors).

^ I was going to name Voince Vaughn for today's era, but he doesn't bust my gut like Will Ferrell. I just enjoy Vaughn overall and he is one of the few who's entire catalog I'll watch.

No that's Orlando Jones. He and Orlando Bloom are like night and day. Literally. Jones was an original cast member on MadTV and a standout. He was also in three of my all-time favorite movies: Bedazzled, Office Space and Evolution.

Speaking of Office Space, a VERY underrated actor is Gary Cole. He doesn't do comedy traditionally, but when he does he's just as good as his peers imho. yeeeeeeeeeah.

Steve Martin for the entire career though.

That's because he wasn't funny.

He wasn't funny, he was frickin' hilarious!

One of my current favorites is Vince Vaughn. I think he'd be cool to just go downtown and hang out with. Wedding Crashers was also one of my all time favorite movies. The more you watch it the better is seemed to get.

He's also really funny in "The Break-Up"
