Was coming here to say this. I had only seen him in comedies and then watched beautiful boy and he was so brilliant in it!

Steve Carrell

Watch 'The Patient' on Disney+, he is excellent in it.

Hugh Laurie

Literally just about to put this

@QuantumLevelActions agreed. Hugh Laurie.
Michael Caine.

I've heard it said that comedy acting is harder than serious acting, so the really good actors can do both.

Monica Dolan - should be more known than she is imo

Robin Williams.

Hugh Laurie
Tom Hanks
Judy Dench

Hugh Grant - surpsingly so -Paddington 2 and A Very English Scandal being standouts.

Sandra Bullock

Steve Coogan

Sandra Bullock

Hugh Laurie
Kate Winslet

Isla Fisher - I really love her as an actress

I’m not really usually like this and obviously I didn’t know him… but I really still miss him being here.
