Vic Tayback
Bob Hope or George Burns. Both had great comedian and acting careers that spanned decades. Anyone else come close?
I agree, W. C. Fields is tops.
Albert Brooks
Peter Sellers. “The Pink Panther” is an absolute classic. Everyone was great in that film. But Sellers was in a league of his own.
The diceman
Jimmy Durante - ah chah chah chah!
Even though I’m not really a fan of British comedy,I think Patricia Routledge is a fantastic actress in “Keeping Up Appearances”!
As a dramatic actress, Lena Olin is hard to beat!
Foster Brooks.
MARX BROTHERS
Don Rickles. And do we ever need him now. :)
There is no one answer; every generation has had its comedic geniuses. The silent era had Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. The Golden Age had the Marx Brothers, Abbott & Costello, and WC Fields. Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis were incredibly popular in the 1950s. Red Skelton, Milton Berle - Bob Hope spanned generations. Lucille Ball, Jonathan Winters, Dick van Dyke, Steve Martin, John Belushi, Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder, Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy. A lot of people loved Seinfeld. Jim Carrey had his moments. John Candy. Adam Sandler had a great run. Who’s funny now? Jack Black? Kevin Hart?
Stand Up probably a Bob Hope.
TV series Monty Pythons Flying Circus.
Movies, Mel Brooks.
