    No they’re not. You chose one and wrote it off with one example.

    Lily Tomlin is limited? Cary Grant? Peter Sellers? Emma Thompson?

    No.

    In Japan Takeshi Kitano was known as a slap stick funny man and a gameshow host long before he ever started doing crime films.

    The way we know him in America is not how he’s known elsewhere.

    It would be like if Drew Carey reinvented himself as the star of Scorsese gangster flicks.
    I'm not convinced that appearing in different kinds of films necessarily makes one a versatile actor. Gohatto and Kikujiro are wildly different kinds of films in terms of period, genre, and tone, but Kitano gives essentially the same kind of deadpan performance in both.

    His performances in Violent Cop and Sonatine were fantastic.

    Another question would be what differentiates a comedic performer from a performer, period. Jim Carrey is a comedian in the same way Peter Sellers was one but they don't play the same game as Jerry Seinfeld, Don Rickles or Paul Reubens.

    Anyway, Jim Carrey does have a lot of range, Duke. You can't tell me Andy Kaufman, The Mask or the crazy dude from that goddamn 23 movie are the same performance.

    That 23 movie was terrible so it doesn't matter what he was trying to do there... he failed.

    Ace Ventura, Man on the Moon, The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are all wildly different performances and show great range.

    He shows quite a bit of range in Truman Show. Even if most of it is funny, theres some incredible heart in there.

    Watching Nicolas Cage chew scenery is actually kinda boring and I'm sick of all the meme-y love he gets from the Letterboxd crowd for shouting at stuff and being pretty much a hack nowadays.

    I go back and forth on Ray Romano.

    He was excellent "Men of a Certain Age" but in other roles ... ugh. There's something about his comic persona that grates.

    Exactly, there has always been something grating about his presence.

    I liked a recent interview where he revealed that Scorsese cast him in his latest because he saw him in some film and had never even heard of Everybody Loves Raymond.

    Not sure if this is popular or unpopular opinion, but Notting Hill, which I saw again yesterday, is really wonderful.
