Any good actor has to have a good sense of humour, too; they have to be able to manipulate people.

Some of the best dramatic actors have started in comedy.

I think actors who take things too far are funny.

You can't substitute the act of making people laugh. It's definitely something that actors like to do.

Some actors try to play parts and do things they can't do. Being funny is one of them. Being funny's hard.

I'm just an actor. If it's drama, I add as much humour as the part will stand. And if it's a comedy, add as much drama as you can, so it balances out; you don't wanna be too serious.

I think, you know, as an actor we get these terribly sort of pretentious ideas in our heads. We try to take everything very seriously at first, you know, until we lighten up, we get onboard, and have a laugh.

I always have humour in my action movies. I think characters that make jokes under fire are more real. It somehow helps put you in their shoes.

There are only so many hilarious actors so when they cross-pollinate, people assume it's always the same actors and directors.

Comedians are not usually actors, but imitations of actors.
