You can be both, silly! You've heard of Robin Williams, Will Ferrell, Jim Gaffigan, and Tina Fey right!? Acting and comedy require the same skill set and there are plenty of roles out there that require a funny guy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think being both an actor AND a comedian is a great idea, many classic icons are/were both!.

a!.) If you want to become a "crude" comedian (sarah silverman, dane cook) it would be harder for people to take you seriously if you ever did decide to play a serious role!.

b!.) Actors who played it smart, getting roles in honorable films while showing their humorous side in other (Jennifer Anniston, Drew Berrymore) are classica!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Comedy is a great motif to live your life!. Keep it light, catch yourself in seriousness, and laugh to increase endorphines, but remember there is a difference between good humor and bad, one lifts people up, and the other is cynical and destructive!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

that is great! comedians are types of actors!. AND many comedians have become famous and in movies!. I mean look at the people from saterday night live! good luck and i hope you make it big!Www@QuestionHome@Com
