Although not quite as subtle as the other two, Burrell is about the best in the business, currently, for physical comedy.

But, DHP's overall performance as Niles, non-verbal acting, timing, reactions - I mean, after all, Kelsey Grammer is no slouch with timing, react takes, facial expression and he barely held his own with David Hyde Pierce over the course of the series.
