We all know about comedic actors who went on to have great success in dramatic roles, Tom Hanks and Robin Williams just to name a couple. But who are some of your favorite dramatic actors who showed they had the chops for comedy? Off the top of my head, Leslie Nielsen (of course) and Lloyd Bridges were both hilarious in the Airplane!, Naked Gun, and Hot Shots! films. Who else showed their skills outside their original wheelhouse?
