Peter Sellers's Dr. Strangelove is brilliant comic versatility, playing both three distinct roles Group Captain Mandrake, President Merkin Muffley, and, of course, the eponymous Dr. Strangelove in a manner as fresh and fantastically absurdist as Stanley Kubrick's dark satire requires. This kind of skill blends one's ability to be fluent between characters in its comedic brilliance and satirical edge. Sellers's performances were simultaneously hilarious and terrifying, and this is one of the most celebrated comic achievements in film history.
