Guys i love watching comedies and through the years i came to understand that a good comedy actor can really make a bad script a great comedy and those are some of my favourite actors acting or acted mostly in comedies.

Steve Martin

Steve Martin's journey into the world of comedy began in the 1970s when he gained recognition for his stand-up performances. His distinct brand of humor, often infused with absurdity, quickly made him a household name. In film, Martin dazzled audiences with memorable roles in classics like "The Jerk," "Planes, Trains & Automobiles," and "Roxanne."

Will Ferrell

Will Ferrell's comedic genius first shone on "Saturday Night Live." His talent for creating memorable characters and delivering off-the-wall humor translated seamlessly to the big screen. Ferrell brought us unforgettable performances as Ron Burgundy in "Anchorman," Buddy the Elf in "Elf," and countless other lovable oddballs.

Kevin Hart

Kevin Hart's energetic and relatable style of comedy has resonated with audiences. He initially gained fame through stand-up and then transitioned into film with hits like "Ride Along," "Central Intelligence," and "Jumanji." Hart's dynamic performances have made him a comedic force to be reckoned with.

Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey is a master of physical comedy and slapstick humor. His early films, such as "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" and "The Mask," catapulted him to stardom. He later showcased his dramatic range in films like "The Truman Show" while still sprinkling his signature humor throughout.

Martin Lawrence

Martin Lawrence's career took off with his self-titled sitcom, "Martin." His infectious charisma and humor soon led to a successful film career. From the "Bad Boys" franchise alongside Will Smith to dressing up as Big Momma in "Big Momma's House," Lawrence's comedy has a special place in our hearts.

Kevin James

Hi! You've named several greats here, in my childhood and adolescence my favourite was Jim Carrey, I thought he was the best and La Mascara was one of my favourite films, but Adam Sandler is the one who takes my place of honour, he's provoked many laughs throughout his career and I've admired him since SNL. On the other hand, Kevin Hart has earned his place among so many comedy stars, as you say, a good actor changes everything...

I haven't seen any of their comedies yet, but as you say they do a lot of good comedies, I will definitely try to watch their dramas.
