10 Comic Actors Who Excelled In Serious Roles

1. Will Smith

Will-Smith-600x300 Who would've thought that the Fresh Prince would end up being one of the biggest actors of the past decade? Getting his start in that sitcom really propelled him off into a life of stardom as he went on to star in numerous blockbuster hits. He was in the Men in Black series, Independence Day, I Am Legend, The Pursuit of Happyness, and plenty of others that I don't have room to name here. The man can turn anything into a hit and his wide range of acting ability allows him to do whatever he basically wants too. Hell, he was even a superhero in a movie. He is number one on this list because of the fact that the level of success he has achieved wasn't that likely, and because of all the success he has. Although I haven't seen all of his movies, the ones I have seen have been pretty memorable. I Am Legend was one of my favorite movies after I first saw it, and that was a movie where basically he was the only actor for most of the movie. He's that good. And he is also number one. Agree or disagree with our choices here? Which comic actors do you think excelled in dramatic turns? Let us know in the comments section below.
