okay but like eternal sunshine was such a strong role for Jim like he turned in a much stronger performance there, idc if that wasnt the one that "put him on the map" as a serious actor.

Love Jim Carrey in Truman Show, but I would’ve given the spot to I Love You Phillip Morris. His performance in that film was next level

I think Jim Carrey in "The Number 23" is a way more dramatic performance

RIP Robin Williams

Precious had me in tears! I was shocked and horrified, but impressed and awed by the performances of both women! Monique has some serious acting chops!

Absolutely agree with where you put Robin Williams' performance as Mr. Keating. As wonderfully hilarious as his comedic roles were, Mr. Keating will always be my favorite. It's one of the most moving, honest performances I've ever seen and I think "Dead Poets Society" should be mandatory viewing for anyone who wants to be a teacher or a writer. Bravo, Mr. Williams.

I'm so so glad Will Ferrell got a mention for Stranger than Fiction. It's a very underrated movie and he perfectly fit the part. Unlike some comedic actors who venture into drama, you never see him as just a funny person while he plays the character. He was able to play an introverted and painfully ordinary everyman in the most believable way which he never comes across as in most of his comedic roles. Here's hoping to see more dramatic performances from him, although sadly there have been very few.

They should do this more often. They always turn out amazing.

Really like this list!

Big respect for number 1. He was a very talented man & shall be missed.

I honestly believe Robin Williams might be the greatest actor of all time. He was obviously amazing in comedies, but no comedian could do a serious role like he did. He also did creepy really well, like in One Hour Photo and Insomnia. Also, after seeing Good Will Hunting, he changed my goddamn life

Although, he SEEMED miscast, he still put on a seriously good performance, nonetherless.

So glad to see Bill Murray made the list for Lost in Translation. One of my favourite films, and he (and Scarlett, for that matter) did an outstanding job in it.

First cut's the deepest for me, plus, I haven't seen most of these. When I saw Mary Tyler Moore in "Ordinary People", (the first of all of these movies I had ever seen), I was shocked by her absolutely brutal performance in that movie. It was like a completely different actress from the one I knew. No indication whatsoever that she even knew what "comedy" meant. Not a single smile-evoking line emerged from her lips or her body language in that movie. absolutely brilliant.

Great choices, especially Mr Williams as number one. Legendary actor who will never be forgotten. I'd definitely say that Simon Pegg should be up there. Either for his role as Benji Dunn in Mission Impossible Rogue Nation or as Hector in Hector and the Search for Happiness. Both films still have some funny moments, of course, but he proves that he is so much more than the funny guy. Stellar acting from him :)

Casualties if war Great movie

Comedy actors often make the most layered and complex characters in drama. Btw, Eddie Murphy's role in "Life" (1999) definitely deserved a mention here, it's such a serious subject masterfully disguised as comedy, a film that is criminally underrated.

Nearly every actor and actress mentioned in this video has either gotten nominated for an Academy Award or won an Academy Award.

Great list. I'm saying this because I agree 100% with the list.

The Truman show is such a quintessential Carrey performance. Should have been spotless mind in that spot. Also, Sandler in Punch drunk love should have at least taken the 2nd spot with his performance having so many overlooked aspects that he doesn't get enough credit for such as it being one of the most realistic portrayals of social anxiety and OCD ever shown on film. One of the greatest performances of this generation.

That was the first time I came across watching a comedic actor playing a very different role.

Is there a top 10 comedic performances by dramatic actors? that'd be great too

Thanks for this but I actually wanted to see a montage of the different lines.
