On Hugh Grant, I do think that he has a sense of ridiculous.  Besides 
his role in BJD, another supremely comic moment which springs to mind 
is in Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility.  The scene which always 
makes me laugh is when he is reading aloud, with no idea of 
expression, and getting the emphasis all wrong, and is criticised and 
corrected by Kate Winslet.  I can imagine this is quite difficult - 
an actor, acting as though he can't act!  You may think that he can't 
act anyway, but I beg to differ on this point.
