Can anyone help me find another serious movie with a comedy actor in it?

This has been discussed before on this board, but I'm too lazy to go dig up the thread, so here goes off the top of my head:

Hugh Laurie--known as a comedian in the UK, then did House in the US (Not a movie, but still a very serious role...)

Adam Sandler--Click (has funny elements but makes me cry almost every time); Reign Over Me; Punch Drunk Love

Robin Williams--Dead Poets Society; Good Will Hunting (He has done a TON more of dramatic roles, but I can't think of them right now. Some, at least to me, were hits, and some were misses.)

Jim Carrey--The Truman Show. Ooh and Eternal Sunshine was ace. Great film!

Steve Carrell--Dan in Real Life (A bit slow in the pacing in some spots, but still a sweet film.)

Eddie Murphy--Dream Girls

Whoopi Goldberg--The Color Purple




Also, back in the day, Tom Hanks was regarded as only comedic actor. Look at him now...



"Are you an idiot?"
"No, sir. I'm a dreamer."

truman show- also jim carrey (one of my favorites by the way)

adding to the list, lost in translation w/bill murray is a good one as well
