Hollywood has long been a stepping stone for stand-up comedians. From Eddie Murphy’s transition in the ‘80s (Coming to America, Beverly Hills Cop) to Kevin Hart’s domination today (Jumanji, Ride Along), comedians bring their unique humor to the big screen.
Some comedians, like Robin Williams and Jim Carrey, proved their versatility by excelling in both comedy and drama. Others, like Adam Sandler, built their careers on laugh-out-loud humor before exploring serious roles (Uncut Gems).
