Actors known for dramatic roles that find later success in comedy?

Jon Hamm is making a name for himself as a good comic actor (SNL, 30 Rock, Bridesmaids), after his success with Mad Men and smaller roles in other dramatic pieces (The Unit, The Town, etc.).

I’m surprised that no one has mentioned that great actor Eddie Albert. Who would’ve thought that he would be so funny in Green Acres after a long career in dramatic roles (twice nominated for an Oscar). And, yes, I really like the silliness of Green Acres.

So you never saw Roman Holiday?

Eddie Albert had a mix of roles and often played comedic sidekicks.
