Bill Murray is another actor whose comedy manages to resonate with the audience. Like other successful names on this list, he too started his career on Saturday Night Live. Some of his best comedy roles were in the movies – Stripes, Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, Scrooged and others. But he displayed his emotional depth in acting when he worked in the movie – Lost in Translation. It was a very intense role where he portrays the role of Bob Harris an old actor who finds love in a young woman (Scarlett Johansson) in a different country. Since then he has worked in other serious movies to showcase his versatility as an actor.
