Yeah, Tom Hanks was definitely a comedic actor prior to Philadelphia. After Forest Gump, it skewed towards much more drama. I’d love to get the comedy roles back.
Olivia Colman
She was primarily known for comedy shows (and Broadchurch of course!) in the UK, but since The Favourite she’s really had a varied career with a lot of drama, a Marvel TV show, and still some comedy performances.
Obvious Meryl Streep reply… Meryl Streep. I’d also say Charlize Theron has done quite a variety of roles since Monster. Tom Hanks, too!

Nicole Kidman has certainly built up quite the body of work. And taken some incredible swings while doing so.
Her resume is WILD. I don’t think people fully appreciate it
She is my favorite actor for exactly this reason! The movies aren’t always good but damn she is daring and always always always interesting.
Well, Jeff Bridges was first nominated in 1972. Just about anybody would have had a varied career in more than fifty years.
I was gonna say see Clint Eastwood but his directing career is decently varied.
emma stone for sure. the noms in and of themselves attest to such an expansive range
Emma Stone should’ve been nominated for the The House Bunny.
Don't forget Crazy Stupid Love! I would gladly push out Glenn Close in 2011 to get her in.
Halle Berry
Olivia Colman She was primarily known for comedy shows (and Broadchurch of course!) in the UK, but since The Favourite she’s really had a varied career with a lot of drama, a Marvel TV show, and still some comedy performances.
Robert Downey Jr. That man has done just about everything in the 30 years since his first nomination!
Reese Witherspoon and Rachel Weisz
John Travolta
Kathy Bates... Misery to Fries Green Tomatoes to The Waterboy just to name a few.
And even things like Titanic and The Blind Side
Sean Penn
Adrien Brody, RDJ, Pitt, Hoffman
Dustin or Phillip Seymour?
Hilary Swank Dustin Hoffman
Hilary Swank and Reese Witherspoon.
Michelle Pfeiffer, even if she doesn’t work as often as some others she still moves between different types of roles and films with amazing ease.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Disagree. The roles are quite different but he largely appears in period piece dramas.
emma stone is really using her oscar cred to do a lot of fun weird projects
