It's always a pleasure to see a screwball actor flourish on being cast outside type. Here are a few more examples:

* Will Ferrell in Stranger Than Fiction

* Robin Williams in One Hour Photo

* Adam Sandler in Punch-Drunk Love and Spanglish

* Bill Murray in Broken Flowers

Adam Sandler really shines in Reign Over Me.

I think for Williams, Dead Poets Society would be the first break of the mould.
