What was the best performance by somebody not primarily known for their acting? #MovieDiscussion - tchncs

Anytime a comedian takes on a frantic role and nails it.

Off the top of my head….

Robin Williams: Dead Poets Society (and many more, I think that was his first) Bill Hader: Barry. Jim Carrey: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

You often hear comedians are the best actors because they learn to act through humour which is is probably the most abrupt emotions to react to
I’ve heard it more that both comedy and drama is like a dance, but comedy has a faster tempo.
