I can not tell if Kevin James is retarded or a genius

Pretty sure he means a serious/drama role.

When it comes to comedic actors like Adam Sandler, his posse, and other folks like Jim Carrey, Eddie Murphy and so on, their success has dried up, some more than others. I think of Sandler's posse Kevin James was able to carry movies better than the others. Sandler's movies post 05 or so being mostly shit, while Kevin James has been able to keep up better, though I don't consider either of them that good anymore.

Ive been meaning to watch Uncut Gems but haven't gotten around to it. I do think Kevin James could do real good in a serious dramatic role. Back with Bob Odenkirk appearing in Breaking Bad, it was either him or Vince Gilligan that said something along the lines of if you can do comedy you can do drama, though it doesn't always go the other way around. Considering a lot of comedians have some form of depression or something bad they can pull from to do a serious role.

I love Kevin James. He's a guilty pleasure for me. Along with Rob Schneider, Andy Dick, Paul Reubens, Rowan Atkinson, and Harland Williams. I think they're all great. Judge me idc

Separating him from his work, he's a pretty good actor but a shitty guy. There's so many experiences people have had with him where he acted like an asshole.

His own version? Like he would star in Uncut Gems or produce a movie similar to Uncut Gems? Not sure what you mean. I guess he wants to be taken more seriously as an actor I guess he is tired of being the mall cop movie guy.

Be a part of a serious role like how Adam Sandler was able to get acclaim for his role in Uncut Gems. It was actually a Polygon article,  but they seem to think Kevin James has it in him to take on a serious role.

I'll see you're acquired tastes and raise you a couple of Toms. An Arnold and Green specifically.

Comedy Central used to occasionally show some form of "stand-up" Rowan Atkinson did that I loved. The air-drumming bit was probably the highlight.

Tom Green is great. I love Freddy Got Fingered

Tom is all mature now and been bringing himself back
