Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
The nine actors and actresses in this quiz are best known for their comedic work, but they’ve also taken some decidedly unfunny roles. And we don’t mean unfunny in the “Norbit” sense. We’re talking murdering, boozing, bone-chilling, kidnapping disturbing roles. Can you match the comedians to their dark roles?

The title of the movie with the Harry Stoner character is actually “Save the Tiger”

100% but I’m not sure that’s actually a good thing.

I thought it was Save the Tiger also. But I still got it right. I typed in the wrong number for Diane Keaton, so I only got 89%.

Too easy - 100% Then again, I’m a movie dork, so that helped.

They forgot a GREAT one - I recently saw an episode of Law & Order SVU with a REALLY DISTURBINGLY CREEPY
Martin Short as a demented serial rapist/murderer of virgins. Trust me, if you saw it, you would never look at “Ed Grimmley” the same way again!

…But I’m funny how, I mean funny like I’m a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh… What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?”
100%! YES!
