Steve Carell had two big dramatic releases this fall and winter with Beautiful Boy and now Welcome to Marwen. It got Jonathan (@berkreviews), Corey (@coreyrstarr), and Michael (@servermonkey) thinking about their favorite comedic actors more dramatic roles. Thus the topic for the episode is Sad Clowns – that moment when the funny guy or gal suddenly shows a softer side. It was a challenging list to narrow down, but the three thought long and hard and came up with their lists.

5. Sarah Silverman in I Smile Back (2015)
