Paul Rudd was on several shows, including Friends. David Koechner was on SNL and The Office.

Teela,

When I said nobody else did TV nobody had a regular role.

Applegate did, and that's fine but really great actress?

 

[CASPERWAIT$]

stick to your original statement

Fine you all win.

You know who else was great?

Adam West and Pee Wee Herman and Ruth Buzzi and Bobcat Goldhwait and Mr. T

Jeesh

Mathew Perry is a good TV actor but I cannot name one of his movies on top of my head. That disqualifies him a a best movie actor. Did he win an Oscar or something that I missed?

I never said he was in my list.

The question just popped in my head as I was watching one of his movies.

meh... sure, a lot of people came from it, but its hard for me to consider sat.night live in the same category as "tv show"

When you say, "regular role," what are your qualifiers for that?

 

[Archie]

when need a mess of operational definitions to get all our semantics in order here

When the opening credit song is playing and the actors name appears on the screen.

I would say Melissa McCarthy, but I think she's on the verge of being overrated. I think they're just repeatedly casting her in the same role in every movie.

That's what happens when you are the female version of John Candy and Chris Farley

she doesnt fit the thread title unless "best" is supposed to be spelled "obnoxious and unfunny" ... her tv shows and movies are awful, teela...wtf...snap out of it

Rayray, I'm having a difficult time thinking of successful transitions from tv to movie. I could day Bryan Cranston, but I have yet to see a movie that he's in a major role...same with Jon Hamm. Wasn't Clint Eastwood in a tv series prior to movies?

 

[Archie]

Bruce Willis

Will Smith

Martin Sheen

Gillian Anderson

Helen Hunt

Jared Leto

Claire Danes

Johnny Depp

Sally Field

and prob the best is Jason Priestly/Brandon from 90210

Archie, Gillian Anderson?
I bet 90% of the members here couldn't name a movie she was in (minus X-Files).

 

[CASPERWAIT$]

I'm also throwing in...

Andy Griffith
John Goodman

And for sentimental value James Gandolfini

 

[Saulty]

The guys from Back to the Future movies did TV before.

 

[RayRay]

ya... still do... i get a kick out of the micheal j fox show

 

[reno cool]

Danny fuckin Devito
Cloris Leachman
Steve Carrell

heads and tails above the rest
