1. Oh, how to pick just one? The first that sprang to mind was....
...THIS guy:



More a television actor than film, but there's almost nothing
he's ever done that I don't enjoy watching over and over.

6. I'm suddenly glad I thought to toss that "almost" in there!
I didn't know he was in that.

I've never seen it, but I think it's safe to say
that I would -NOT- be happy to watch it over and over!

3. David Cross, aka Tobias Funke
And the several thousand characters he played on Mr. Show.

8. Have you listened to his CDs?
Edited on Fri May-25-07 06:51 PM by Rob H.
They had me roaring with laughter. (They're Shut Up, You Fucking Baby! and It's Not Funny.)


Edit: One of the CDs has a hidden track at the end that's really funny. He's constantly making fun of Creed ("13-year-old suburban white girl lyrics") and he actually met Scott Stapp at a celebrity poker game and Stapp was an asshole to him, just like Cross thought he would be.

15. Yeah, his CDs are fucking hilarious.
I love the 20 minute bit where he talks about getting drunk with a rock band and going nearly insane. :rofl:

12. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen was "Stir Crazy."
I smile just thinking about him telling the warden "thanks" for fixing his years old back problem when they hung him in chains in his cell.

20. british humor is either

over the top, or understated.

I also really like eddie izzard.

36. A lot of Sellers' colleagues have said that Sellers could have been the best dramatic actor
of his generation, had he chosen that route. Instead, he decided to become the best comedic actor of his generation.
