Ditto.

Kevin Kline in "A Fish Called Wanda" was excellent.

It just goes to show how different people are.
Gervais first came to prominence in the office in an acting role. He is cringeworthy and as funny as eating dirt.

He actually came to prominence in "The 11 O'clock show" hosted by the lovely Daisy Donovan.

Having said that, Sacha Baron Cohen also started his career on that show and he was on your list as well. So I'm guessing that wouldn't have been a show you rushed home for.

Bill Murry tops my list.

Brilliant film, one hit wonder though

fuk me it's still funny

As most of his roles are....

Never used to like him but really warmed to Colin Farrell after his hilarious performance in "In Bruges". It's one of my all time favourite films.

Hard to beat the classic comedy herein. a master at work.

You don't do irony then?

He was *meant* to be cringeworthy and as funny as eating dirt, so he obviously did a good job.

^ Exactly!

Jacque Tati in M Hulot's Holiday and Traffic - have a look sometime, Mr Bean lovers

I never 'got' Mr Bean. Atkinson is a brilliantly funny guy, the Blackadder, Not the Nine.. stuff shows that as mentioned, but I always felt uncomfortable with Bean.

It had its moments but often it felt like being expected to laugh at a retard or something.

Every line is genius.

Try Mid-Morning matters if you haven't.

Golden!
