I think lots of stand up comedians are good actors. Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock (Sort of, he has his moments), Eddie Murphy, Bill Cosby. If you're a good comedian I highly doubt the transition from comedian to actor is a very difficult thing.

I'm sure there are more, I'm just throwing names off the top of my head.

Good luck Chuck is forgivable. Employee of the month is not.

yeah,I enjoyed both those movies,but his best role was in the Kevin Costner flick who wanted kevin to teach him how to be a serial killer

Dane Cook is someone you either find hilarious or annoying. Personally I think he's hilarious.

I agree with pretty much everyone that's been named here. I like going to comedy shows, it's a more laid back atmosphere vs. going to see a band.

I've seen Ron White, Larry The Cable Guy, Bill Maher, and Lewis Black in the past few years.

Titus cracks me up but I really like the classics like Cosby, Pryor, Kinison, and Eddie Murphy.

This has to be one of the funniest acts I've ever seen. I had never even heard of the guy before this.

I actually liked employee of the month. There was some pretty good humor there... "Brand newish 2005 chevy mailbu" was pretty funny...

I actually try to avoid ANYTHING with her in it. I find her extremely annoying. She is a human bobblehead!
She has quite a body, but the second she starts talking, I find her repulsive.

Dave Chappelle hands down

Man thats a tough question. For me it changes day to day. Right now I'm going to have to go with

Jerry Seinfeld might be the best one of our generation mainly because he not only changes his routines frequently but the new routines he comes up with are still hilarious.

I'm not a big Dane Cook fan, but he was hilarious in "Waiting".
