– in Robin Hood: Men in Tights, his paranoia-driven hilarity in Undercover Brother, stoner favorite Half Baked (which he also wrote with Chappelle’s Show co-creator Neal Brennan), and his surprising, albeit brief, dramatic turn in 2018’s A Star is Born.
Of course, everybody remembers his epic heckling battle in The Nutty Professor, his earlier role as Ahchoo – Bless you!
Yet, a dramatic role from Dave Chappelle would not be as surprising if more people knew about the movies and TV shows he was lesser-known for, which is not limited to comedies.
Granted, his characters would still often be a comic relief type, but I would still count them as the beginning of him showing his range, perhaps.
