But his more recent films have just come off as rather desperate, as he gets older he lacks the energy he used to have but he still tries to reuse the same gimmicks and it just dosen't work anymore.

He's still a great dramatic actor though, I agree with that.

I think Robin Williams is another good example of a comic actor who is actually better at dramatic roles. He hasn't been in a good comedy since The Birdcage, but he still churns out some amazing dramatic performances, I think that's what he should stick with for now on.
