It seems like Comedians like Seth Rogan are taking over films, and while they are ok I think there are some comedians who I want to see star in more movies, like these guys below.

Paul Rudd- Well he is starring in more films these days, which is great because he is awesome

Steve Coogan- His British TV shows are the best like I'm ALan Partridge, but his starring films are very hit and miss since he seems to be trying way too hard to be the hollywood funny guy.

Bill Hader- I don't know why, but I like this guy.

Andy Samberg- I liked Hot Rod because it was so damn stupid

Eddie Izzard

Dylan Moran

Bill Bailey

Nick Frost- I want to see him in more films without Simon Pegg, nothing against Pegg

Edgar Wright- Sure he is a director of SHaun of the dead and Hot Fuzz, but I met this guy and he is hysterical.

Paddy Considine- He isnt a comedian but he was the funniest character in Hot Fuzz by far.

Eddie Izzard and Dylan Moran got some terrible roles in films. They are hella funny but the roles seem like a gimmick.

What is he even doing these days? I havent seen him in anything in ages, then again I haven't really been looking out for him. Here are some more comic actors I think should star in more films.

Michael Ian Black

Michael Showlater

Yeah most of their acting roles suck, Dylan Moran was good in Shaun of the dead though and those great TV series Black Books, and How do you want me? I saw him live and he is one of the funniest comedians I have ever seen, I was crying with laughter during his show. I also saw Bill Bailey and Eddie Izzard live and they were also fantastic, Bill Bailey's hair alone seems to be a seperate entity. Eddie Izzard was good in Shadow of the vampire though.

Samberg is best on SNL I agree there, but I like Hader in films alot. He was really good in Superbad though I dont like that film much overall.

Forgot to mention David Cross, Will Arnett, David Mitchell, Robert Webb, Rob Brydon, and Bob Odenkirk, those guys are hilarious in everything I see them in.

There are not many, but here are some I know of.

Kinky Boots

Danger! 50,000 volts- This is a TV series he did that shows you how to survive various scenarios like Land mines and zombie attacks. Pegg of course is in the zombie one but the other episodes are just Frost.

Man stroke woman

Penelope

Oh well, I really liked his TV series but I understand why he quit. Another comic actor I forgot to mention is Charlie Day from ALways sunny in philadelphia, heck the whole cast of that show except Devito needs to be in more movies.

I wish he would do more films without Pegg, I personally prefer him to Pegg for some reason. I don't know why, Pegg is awesome but Frost has an odd charm to him. ALso if you like him you should watch the show he and Pegg were in before Shaun of the dead called Spaced, its with them and another great British comic actress Jessica Stevenson.

I think one of the best comic actors around who doesnt seem to be used much outside TV is Mark Heap, anyone who has seen the shows Brass Eye, Jam, Green Wing, Spaced, Big Train, and Look around you will know why.

I think Penn Jillette is hilarious, Teller is pretty good too, I suppose you can't really have one without the other. So I vote Penn and Teller.

He also did a Sci-Fi comedy TV show without Pegg called Hyperdrive which I thought was pretty funny.

I think Rob McElhenney who plays Mac is married to Kaitlin Olson. Funny how the characters who are married in real life hate each other the most on the show, remember the series finale when Charlie did the Nightman musical and he was wearing the ridiculous Bright yellow suit and asked the waitress to marry him and she just walked away:lol:

I need to find that yellow suit and the green man costume so I can wear them to school. What was your favorite episode from season 4? I loved Mac and Charlie die part 1 and 2. I do kinda wish they would tone down the insanity of the show at times and make some episodes more like season 1 when Devito wasnt around. Dont you notice a big difference in the show since Devito came on? He's great and all, but it seems more over the top since he came on the show.

I actually enjoy the over the top stuff, but the more subtle stuff in season 1 was amazing too :D Favorite episode from season 4 would probably be the episode where Dee goes to live like Charlie :lol: Season finale and the extreme home makeover episodes are runners up.
