    A good comedy actor can be excellent in a serious role, but the reverse is rarely true.

    Leslie Nielsen would disagree.
    If he were alive, obviously.

    Charlie is trying to protect his beliefs his fragile inner world, he is delusional. Actually John Goodman plays the same character as in O Brother Where Art Thou?

    I wouldn't describe Jerry as insane - he's a weak man who makes a bad decision and everything spirals out of control from there.

    One thats only just spring to mind Vincent Philip D'Onofrio as Private Leonard Lawrence in Full Metal Jacket, he's only insane for a very sort part of the film but if you follow his character carefully in the film you can see exactly why he gets to that stage.

    Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast
    Jack Nicholsen as the Joker in Batman was great, even if Ledger overshadowed him
    Ralph Fiennes' character in In Bruges was good.
    Brad Pitt in Fight Club.
    Sam Neil in Event Horizon.
    Bale in American Psycho.

    ye, the bad guy really suits him. He also played a very good Heathcliff alongside Juliette Binoche in Wuthering Heights.
