So who do you think is a decent comedy actor?? Either still working or currently mainstream??

I know alot of people think Will Ferrell is a decent and funny actor but to be honest I can't stand the guy... I think his humour is just stupid humour. In 'A Night At The Roxbury' it works and it's the only movie I can tolerate him in but everything else he just seems to be making an ass out of himself and getting laughs.

I also bracket Steve Carrell in with him especially for that piece of drivel that was '40 Year Old Virgin'...

Personally I like some of the greats like Steve Martin, Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray and more recently the likes of Jim Carrey (though I will admit some of his comedy borders on the ridiculous!)...

So who do you like??

Jim Carrey is a comedy god!

Steve Martin's later stuff is stupid comedy too, earlier stuff is genius. Jim Carrey's work is generally a good idea for a comedy movie. I even loved the cable guy which a lot of people didn't seem to like.

I don't think there are many other good comedians.

Dermot Morgan was great in Father Ted obviously. I can't think of anyone else. I don't suppose the actors in Peep Show are comedians too? Because that is probably the funniest comedy I've seen in years!

I'm not a big fan of his movies. They are funny, just not comedy genius.
