Gismo Recording Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 This has got to be one of the best shows on TV. I am totally hooked. And who knew Martin Short was a great dramatic actor. I mean, as far as I know this is the only dramatic role he's ever done and he's brilliant. Ken Denny Gismo Recording So Cliché Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanker. Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I've always thought that great comics frequently make the best dramatic actors. They already work with a range of emotions in their acts, and they understand timing like few others. A ROMpler is just a polyphonic turntable.

Phred Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I agree with what Kanker said. Great comic actors do usually have some great dramatic chops. However, I disagree with what implied. I do not think of MartinShort as a great comedic actor. More of a one trick pony - I must say... I'm just saying', everyone that confuses correlation with causation eventually ends up dead.

Jason Stanfield Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Mmmmmm ... Rose Byrne ... *ahem* But yeah, Damages just happens to be a pretty great show. Speaking of comedy actors in dramatic roles, Ted Danson played a thoroughly evil corporate sleazebag in season 1. Jason Stanfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
