Colin FarrellColin Farrell’s leading man physique has served him well in action pics and thrillers. But last summer Farrell took an unexpected humorous role in
Horrible Bosses, the screwball comedy in which he played the seedy, lecherous boss of
Jason Sudeikis’ character. Farrell was easily one of the best parts of the movie, throwing himself no-holds-barred into a hilarious nut job character.
Natalie PortmanNatalie Portman continues to take on sophisticated dramas, and probably always will. But throughout her career, Portman has peppered a few comedy roles. But Portman’s greatest gift to the world of humor was her
Saturday Night Live rap, which was one of the first examples of the actress’ determined versatility.
Charlize TheronThe beautiful Charlize Theron has been balancing comedy and drama throughout her career. It was not until her stint on the acclaimed sitcom
Arrested Development that people took note of just how adept Theron was at delivering laughter. Although her penchant for the dramatic seems to outweigh the alternative as far as the bulk of her movie roles go, Theron's greatest role to date might well be
Young Adult, a comedy character piece that she brought to shocking levels of hilarity and profundity.
Justin TimberlakeAnother member of the list whose comic triumphs can be attributed to
Saturday Night Live collaborations is Justin Timberlake. The adored former music artist has teamed up with
SNL star
Andy Samberg on several different occasions to create some of the variety show’s most memorable musical skits in recent years. Plus, Timberlake’s hosting (and surprise) spots on the show always prove to be among the best episodes.
