Not about their acting skills per se, just based on their body abilities to absolutely flail around or contort themselves into a role.

Richards did some amazing things physically as Kramer. Carrey could shape shift his face like no other and would also flail about.

I’d say Richards. That’s how it’s a question.

Richards was Kramer (and I loved him for it), but that's about it.

Carrey was great until he wanted to become a serious actor.

For 9 seasons. And in that time he did some amazing things physically speaking on the show. Dude threw his body around like a rag doll.

I compared him to Carrey because obviously Jim gets most of the credit in this category.

Why didn't you title the thread "Michael Richards was the best physical comedian/actor" since you obviously don't want other opinions?

Jim Carrey and its not even close. He had years on In Living Color that were great then went on to be great in so many movies. Just take Me Myself and Irene for example. When he is kicked at the end of the clip and falls down the hill. Me. Myself and Irene

I’d say Jim Carrey. I’m not sure who else would be in the convo other than him and Michael Richards, especially for how long their careers were/have been.

I’m interested in what others have to say. I’m also entitled to my opinion. I’m 41, they were in their prime when I was growing up and I’ve seen plenty of both. Cool?

ETA: wasn’t disagreeing with your post, btw.
