Martin Lawrence

Love the guy as a stand-up comedian and his show "Martin"! He has no business doing movies like Big Momma's House.

Welcome home roscoe Jenkins was actually pretty damn funny. So was big mommas house. Giamatti and t Howard were both in it too - That's Game!

Lou Diamond Phillips

I'm confused at this point by whether commercial success or success at the art of acting is being debated.

Alan Alda is a huge success imo, because of his mastery of the craft. Doesn't necessarily translate to huge box office #s, but he has had some theatre successes.

On the other hand, Will Ferrel gets a lot of $, but I don't consider him a great actor. He's funny, he's comedic, but he's not really a good actor.
